A Note of Gratitude from the Director
As we reflect on the journey of WPRP, I want to take a moment to say: I am thankful for YOU!
YOU have played a vital role in building what WPRP is today. Thanks to your support and dedication, we now have over 1,600 people subscribed to our email list, 934 Facebook followers, and we've recently welcomed our 37th family into WPRP.
Each family we partner with is provided, at minimum, one year of paid services and a Family Friend volunteer who walks alongside them, offering support and guidance. That means, to date, we have volunteered 37 years of love to widowed families—what a beautiful testament to the impact we’re making together!
I am deeply thankful for all of you:
- Our volunteers who offer home projects, professional skills, and personal time.
- Our donors whose contributions make our work possible.
- Our businesses and churches who provide unique support as needs arise.
And, of course, I am especially thankful for our WPRP families.
Our families offer support and guidance to each other and show us what true love, resilience, and hope look like. I cannot count how many times a Family Friend has said to me, "My parent has blessed me more than I have blessed them." Our families inspire us every day.
I am blessed. I am blessed to be a vessel for this mission. I am blessed to know you and be a part of this community. I am so grateful for each one of you.
May you have a tremendous Thanksgiving - and know that all of us at WPRP genuinely appreciate you, your love, and support!
With great gratitude,
