A message from our Executive Director
Dear Friends and Supporters,
March has always felt like a quiet turning point. At Jessica's House, this is the month when we notice the daylight shifting on group nights, our garden starting to come alive, and our group participants showing up for each other in ways that whisper, "You are not alone in this." For those walking through grief, that reminder gives hope for their next moment.
This month, 681 individuals walked through our Jessica's House doors, and into our ongoing school groups. Behind every number is a story of deep love and real loss for youth who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling. What moves me most is not just the volume of people we serve, but the courage it takes for a grieving family to reach out and say, I need someone to walk alongside me. We are honored to be that place.
We also welcomed a beautiful new group of volunteers who are preparing to sit with families in their hardest moments and remind them they don't have to carry their grief alone. Their willingness to show up is one of the most generous gifts our community offers.
And speaking of generous! Our Heart Circle Garden Party was a wonderful reminder that this work is sustained by a circle of generous donors who believe in it. Your presence, your giving, and your ongoing support make everything we do possible.
Spring is here. New growth is coming. And because of you, no one needs to face grief alone.
With warmth and gratitude,
