Making a Difference

Prior to the existence of A Little Hope, there was not a single national organization dedicated to raising awareness and the money to advance the growth of children's grief support and the expansion of bereavement centers and camps for grieving children and teens in the United States.

In just nine years, we have grown from a regional organization funding five bereavement programs in the tri-state area, into a national foundation that has funded a total of 75 organizations in 34 states. We have expanded our scope from providing bereavement support services to 350 children and teens that had a family member die in the World Trade Center, to providing services for more than 150,000 American children and teens by the end of 2011.

As of April 2011, we have made it possible for Calvary Hospital (Bronx, N.Y.) to launch it's Precious Moments Children's Bereavement Program in Brooklyn, N.Y. and for Good Grief (Morristown, N.J.) to expand services into Newark, New Jersey. Our new programs include partnerships with: Tomorrow's Rainbow (Coconut Creek, Florida); National C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors); Common Ground Grief Center (Manasquan, New Jersey); and Gerard's House in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Other new initiatives will be announced in the coming months.

A Little Hope is a proud participant in the Combined Federal Campaign through Child Aid USA CFC Code #49216 .
