Our story…

It was six years ago, that we had to say goodbye to an amazing husband/father. I remember being so lost and lonely during the beginning of our journey. My kids were 5 & 2 and we were swimming in uncharted waters, with no light in sight. A few months into our darkness, we were introduced to the Lighthouse. Throughout our time there, we were able to find our light again. We met some amazing passengers who were in the same boat as us. We were able to connect in ways that will never be forgotten.....there was no judgement, only love & support. Every time we gathered, it felt like going home for us. With the help of this amazing program, we walk with our heads up high. It took me some time, but I was able to realize that we are not victims of our circumstances, rather survivors. Every day, we look for that light to help us navigate through our journey and to keep us moving forward in our adventures. Thank you Lighthouse for helping us find our light again.

Description

With your support, we will raise funds to support grieving children in our community. Children like Josie benefit from the work we do at Lighthouse. Read her words below - she recently shared how being with her support group makes her feel.

365 participants were supported at Lighthouse in 2019. At a cost of $1700 per child each year, and with no government support, our fundraising is vital. The challenges of COVID-19 restrictions means that we will struggle to meet our 2020 fundraising goals as we rely on events - please consider making a donation today.

All donations enable us to provide hope and healing to those most impacted.

Our groups are currently being run virtually and families are receiving at-home activities and ongoing regular support from staff.
With two-thirds of our Lighthouse families being sole parents, the increased isolation and anxiety caused by this pandemic will mean our services will be needed more than ever.
In the aftermath of this pandemic, we anticipate a surge in the need for grief support as families have been unable to say goodbye to loved ones and mourning rituals have been restricted.
