Dear Uplift Community,
At Uplift, our focus continues to be on serving the children and families that rely on us for grief support. We have named our efforts
#upliftathome
, and I invite you to explore our resources.
-
Our Family Services Clinicians are in regular contact with Uplift families
via phone calls, texts, and emails to gauge the well-being of children and caregivers and offer resources designed to calm fears and apprehension. We are actively exploring what kind of remote support may be possible for our families.
-
Our School & Community Clinicians are supporting school staff
and developing a plan to support schools virtually. They are also working with community partners to explore virtual grief group support options.
-
This week we’ll start streaming online book readings and activities
for children on our social media channels and website.
As you can imagine, we are also paying close attention to the organization’s financial well-being. Board and Leadership are practicing strict fiscal responsibility, but with funding streams compromised, we will be looking at a budget shortfall this quarter, and likely into the start of our new fiscal year this summer, as well.
If you are able, please consider making a gift to Uplift today. Your donation will be greatly appreciated by the Uplift team as well as the children and families we continue to assist, even from afar.
In good health,
