Help Thembi raise money

For participating in Run4Lighthouse 2024

My Story…

By father Brennen Matthews and my mom (Kate) both lost their fathers when they were both quite young. My mom and I  are participating in the Run4Lighthouse 2024 in honor of the memory of the grandfathers (Edward & Roger) I will never meet, in this life. And also in support of Lighthouse for Grieving Children. 

 "The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to." - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

At Lighthouse, You Are Not Alone

Lighthouse offers children, youth, and their families a place to receive free grief support and to connect with others on a similar journey. They need time, space, and understanding as they try to cope with their pain and readjust to a life forever changed. Lighthouse offers a community of understanding at a time when families are at their most vulnerable.
