WHAT YOUR DONATIONS GO TOWARDS:
-
There are no dues or fees to belong to The Compassionate Friends. Just as our chapter is run entirely by volunteers interested in helping bereaved families, your voluntary, tax-deductible donations make it possible for us to mail this monthly newsletter, contact newly bereaved parents, continue our participation in TCF National, and meet other chapter expenses. Often, as they find hope and healing within the group, parents contribute, usually in memory of a child who has died, or a gift of thanksgiving for their surviving children. These contributions are our only source of funds. It is a meaningful way to honor our children and we are grateful to members who can contribute their generous support.
