About Myra’s Kids Foundation
Giving children hope after grief
Losing a loved one early in life is a profoundly devastating experience. Our goal is to help bereft children learn to cope, begin to heal, and discover that there can be hope after a significant death.
We provide year-round support to children and their extended family by funding, initiating, and organizing programs aimed at supporting children dealing with grief.
Every summer, we host a Summer Camp, where bereaved children can honour the memory of a special person who has died.
“Myra’s Kids Foundation is my way of honouring my mother and building on her legacy as I ensure that we provide support to any child who is suffering through the trauma of the loss of someone close to them.”
“Our goals are to offer a safe place and space for bereaved children so that they can heal while also helping them discover that there absolutely is life after loss.”
“No one is made to grieve alone. The deep friend connections we see at Camp when kids find someone their age who finally understands what they’re going through is what drives us to keep working hard year after year to help these connections flourish.”
