Greetings from Uplift and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!

 Thanks to your generous support , many grieving children in Philadelphia are feeling the warm glow of the season even as they are missing those they love most.


During our 2018-19 program year, your donations helped Uplift:

  • Serve over 2,000 children, youth,and teens directly through Family Services grief groups, In-School grief groups, community grief groups, and crisis support groups.
  • Provide over 1,400 adults with caregiver support groups, crisis support services, and trainings on working with grieving children.
  • Visit over 195 schools, community organizations, and neighborhood sites to support grieving children with caring, therapeutic programming.

Uplift's grief support services for children are offered free of charge all year long. We couldn't do that without you! Please consider a gift today to help grieving children face the often dark and cold days of winter with positivity and resilience.

Thank you! On behalf of the Board, staff, volunteers, and beneficiaries of Uplift's programs, I wish you a warm winter filled with light and love.

Most sincerely,

Darcy Walker Krause
Executive Director
Uplift children and caregivers fill mason jars with vellum decorated with words and images honoring loved ones who have died and tea lights to shine brightly for them.

“Thank you for all that you have done for us. This group has been so helpful. I didn’t realize that I was still grieving and by coming to the caregiver group, I was able to talk about things that I hadn’t talked about before.”
