Kara’s services are provided primarily by volunteers who have experience in healing from personal loss. Our volunteers are trained to accompany others on their journey through a life-threatening illness and/or bereavement. Kara has served the San Francisco Bay Area since 1976.

Googlers!
I'm Othar Hansson, a software engineer at Google.  I'm also the board president at Kara.

On a Monday night in April 2002, my first wife died by suicide.  I was in a state of shock and crisis.  Along with friends and family, a community organization named Kara was the biggest help to me as I tried to make sense of this tragedy and work through my grief.  I then went on to become a Kara volunteer, working with children after the death of a sibling, and with families healing after a homicide/suicide.  I'm proud to say that several other Googlers have been active Kara volunteers even before I heard of the organization.

Come walk with me for any reason: a death in your family, circle of friends, coworkers or come walk just to support a unique organization that serves our community in times of crisis.  If you can't walk that day, your donations are appreciated.
