Please join our team in the fundraising effort for Kara's grief support services! Your kindness and compassionate support will help bring healing and hope to grieving children, adults, and families all across the Bay Area. 

I am walking this year to honor the memory of two of my closest family members:

My sister, Janet, who died on September 23, 2019

My mom, Irene, who died on September 7, 2020

I love them dearly and miss them every single day. I appreciate your support of my walk for Kara, and hope you'll consider joining my fundraising team!

Thank you for supporting Kara's critical services which serve those who are suffering grief and loss in our local communities. We are deeply grateful!

About Kara
As a nonprofit serving the San Francisco Bay Area since 1976, Kara provides comprehensive bereavement support, crisis intervention and grief education to individuals and communities facing the difficult realities of death and loss. Guided by empathy and compassion, every day we offer caring support to children and adults and provide a space where those in grief find deep relief in the company of others. Through a time-tested and highly effective peer support model, over 200 volunteers compassionately serve children and adults on their journey through grief so they can move toward renewed hope and meaning. Services are designed to be accessible and fees are not charged for our peer-based support.  We are funded primarily by charitable donations and the heartfelt generosity of the community we serve.
