Good morning gratitude to Bryan Health. 💙

As part of their 100 Acts of Kindness - celebrating 100 years of caring for our community - chose Mourning Hope for their very first act in 2025, surprising our staff by bringing lunch and sharing encouragement. During that visit, two Bryan team members also shared their own grief stories and their personal connections to Mourning Hope’s programs and services...an incredibly meaningful moment we won’t ever forget.

They’ve continued that generosity this holiday season with a financial gift that supports our work with grieving children, teens and families - especially during a time of year when grief can feel heavier to carry.

Bryan Health has been a true partner and a light in our community. We are deeply grateful for their compassion and belief in Mourning Hope. 💙

Preference is given to students who have participated in a Mourning Hope grief support program, making this a meaningful opportunity for many of our students as they prepare for life after high school.

A heartfelt thank you to Bob and Jan Fitzsimmons, whose generosity brought the Hands sculpture to life in front of Mourning Hope and continues to make a lasting impact through this scholarship.
