Help Us Save Our Home of Hope
Dear Friends and Family,
Crystal’s Heart Healing House needs your help. Every donation, large or small, and every share can help us preserve a place where grieving parents find understanding, connection, hope, and healing.
Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit provides grief-healing retreats for parents who have lost a child to addiction, alcoholism, fentanyl poisoning, or su***de. For nearly seven years, we have opened our family home each May and October, welcoming approximately 60 moms and a few dads into a safe, compassionate space with others who understand their loss.
Now, this home’s future is uncertain. It has been in our family for 26 years, but the family members who own it plan to sell. Crystal’s Heart Healing House hopes to purchase it so this place of refuge can become a permanent Home of Hope.
Asking for help is difficult for me, but this mission is bigger than me. As a grieving parent, I know the daily ache of losing a child. I also know the difference compassion, faith, and connection can make. I believe God has guided this journey, and I am stepping outside my comfort zone to ask for your support.
Please consider giving:
• If you are in recovery, give in gratitude for your sobriety or in memory of someone whose life was touched by addiction. Your recovery is a gift; some families face a different ending.
• If you have lost a child, give in your precious child’s name. Their life, their name, and their memory matter, no matter how they left this world.
• If someone you love has found recovery, honor their journey while helping bring comfort to a grieving parent.
• If you are a veteran or love one, help us support grieving military families. We have welcomed mothers of veterans and witnessed the heartbreak of addiction, mental health struggles, and su***de.
• If you have attended a retreat, you know the love, tears, laughter, friendships, and healing within these walls. Help preserve that experience for parents who will need it tomorrow.
• If you believe in helping others, please pay it forward. Individuals, businesses, organizations, foundations, and philanthropists can all help sustain this mission.
Purchasing this home is a tremendous undertaking, but we believe in what caring people can accomplish together, with God’s guidance.
There are still so many hearts that need a place to heal. Please help us keep these doors open so grieving parents do not have to walk this journey alone.
Every gift matters. Every share matters. Thank you for donating, sharing our story, praying for us, and believing in our mission.
With love, faith, and deep gratitude, Noreen and Dawn Crystal’s Heart Healing House
