Thank you for your support.

Congratulations to New Hope Center for Grief Support for being selected as one of our 2026 Grant Recipients! 💙💛

New Hope Center for Grief Support received a grant to support its Circles of Hope (COH) Program, providing critical grief support services for children, teens, and families in Livonia and throughout Southeast Michigan. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, New Hope is dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and new beginnings to those grieving the death of a loved one - offering all programs completely free of charge through the generosity of donors and community partners.

Through age- and loss-specific peer support groups, Family Fridays, Kid’s Grief Camp, Teen Support Groups, and school-based programming in Livonia Public Schools, New Hope surrounds grieving families with comprehensive wraparound support. Their work helps children and caregivers connect with others who share similar experiences, learn healthy coping skills, and navigate grief in a safe, understanding environment. In a community where thousands of children are impacted by loss each year, New Hope plays a vital role in reducing isolation, strengthening mental health, and supporting long-term healing for families across Livonia.

Thanks to this grant, New Hope Center for Grief Support can continue expanding access to compassionate, trauma-informed grief care - ensuring that no child or family has to walk their grief journey alone.

A special visit from a special part of New Hope’s history! 💚🌿

We had the pleasure of welcoming back one of New Hope’s former Executive Directors, who shared stories and memories from his time with the organization and helped us learn more about New Hope’s history and beginnings. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to hear these stories and connect with a piece of New Hope’s past!

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating some of the amazing therapy dogs who have brought comfort, connection, and a little extra joy to New Hope events. 💙

We’re so grateful for these special dogs and their wonderful handlers who generously share their time with our grieving children, teens, and adults. Sometimes a quiet moment beside a dog, a wagging tail, or a little unconditional love can make a difficult day feel just a bit lighter.

A few of our four-legged friends are highlighted here, but there are so many more who have joined us along the way and made a difference simply by being there. 🐶

To all of our therapy dogs and their handlers: thank you for helping us create spaces where grieving people feel supported, comforted, and never alone. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the New Hope family! ❤️
