Smooth Stone Circle
Your recurring gifts change lives
Your recurring gifts will connect children, teens, young adults, and families to free, grief-informed resources before and after a death. We know that when kids and families thrive, so do their communities. And we know that your sustaining support can help smooth the rough edges for children who are grieving.
Brightening the future of children’s grief support
When the unthinkable happens and a child’s life gets turned upside down following the death of a parent of sibling, families turn to Dougy Center for support. Here, children and their families have access to expert-led grief support resources when they need them, for as long as they need them, and completely free of charge.
When families are grieving a death, they’re often overwhelmed not just by the death itself, but also by the financial burdens and uncertainties that come with it. Your sustaining gifts ensure there is never a financial barrier to getting life-saving, life-changing grief support.
Smoothing the rough spots for children who are grieving
Dougy Center’s Smooth Stone Circle is named after the smooth stones a child receives when they decide to close from their grief group. The stones symbolize the rough edges of their grief that have smoothed out through their time at Dougy Center. The smooth stones are given with a rough rock that represents the grief that they will always carry with them.
Your recurring gift will ensure that Dougy Center continues to be there for children and families who are grieving.
