Okay, Everyone has a favorite charity, let me tell you about mine.
My Wife and I lost a child to cancer 10 years ago. If you would like
the details, I will share them with you off list, ask me, I like
talking about my son. (Ross Richard Thompson 12/28/90-12/19/94)
That is not what the message is about, The message is about what my
wife has devoted her life to since that tragedy.
She has took it upon her self to found www.griefwarehouse.org in the
memory of our son, she does this 100% volunteer, she takes absolutely
no wage, and truth be known, my business pays a lot of the costs to
fund it.
My wife, is the co-facilitator for the compassionate friends in
Kenosha Wi.
She is the main facilitator for the day by day support group in
Milwaukee Wi.
She is an advisor to the group "a gathering of angels"
She is a board member of "brighter path publishing" (publishes poems
and stories, about our kids)
She spends almost 10 hours a day, on the phone, or on the internet
talking to "new" Moms,
New, being recent people that have lost children
At this time of year, when so many people want to "find a charity" I
want to offer www.griefwarehouse.org as a place where your money will
go 100% to the cause, not to some overpaid bureaucrat, or some other
overpaid blah blah
okay. enough
sorry for taking up band width, no Im not, my wife deserves the
support, I give her.
