Who helps those who give help?

Every day, first responders run toward the moments the rest of us hope we never have to face.

They witness tragedy, loss, and heartbreak. They comfort strangers on the worst days of their lives, then answer the next call as if nothing happened.

But when the sirens stop and the uniforms come off, they’re human too.

Behind every badge is a person who deserves the same compassion they give so freely to others.

Because even those who save lives deserve someone to help carry the weight. 💙

Join Nabela, a fellow first responder, for Grief on the Frontlines every Friday from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM EST. This dedicated support class provides a safe space for first responders to process grief, connect with others who understand, and remember that they don’t have to carry it alone.

Because no one should have to grieve alone.

There is something incredibly powerful about someone choosing to share the hardest chapter of their life so others don’t feel so alone.

Genesis knows the weight of grief after losing her brother, Junior. While nothing can replace someone you love, sharing your story can remind another grieving heart that healing is possible.

We are deeply grateful that Genesis will be joining us at our Morning of Healing, Connection & Hope on August 1 to share her journey, honor her brother’s memory, and bring hope to others walking a similar path.

If you’re carrying the loss of someone you love, we hope you’ll join us. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to know you’re welcome here.

🗓️ Saturday, August 1 | 10:00 AM–2:00 PM
📍 The Inn at New Hyde Park
🎟️ Tickets available through EventBrite or by scanning the QR code.

Because nobody should have to grieve alone. ❤️🕊️

We're looking for 100 people who believe grief deserves better.

When we launched GLADD, we made a promise.

No one should have to face the hardest day of their life alone.
Since then, we've listened to people whose spouse died, parents trying to survive the loss of a child, children grieving a mom or dad, and families who simply needed someone to answer the phone and say, "I'm here."

This is only the beginning.

Now we're building The GLADD Founders Circle—the people who will be able to say, "I was there when it all started."

We're looking for individuals, families, businesses, and community leaders who believe grief support should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford it.

Whether you give $25 or $25,000, sponsor an event, or introduce us to someone who believes in this mission, you're helping build something that we hope will serve families for generations.

If you've been waiting for a cause to get behind, I'm asking you to consider GLADD.

Become part of our story from the very beginning.

❤️ Join the GLADD Founders Circle today:

Because years from now, when someone says GLADD changed their life, you'll know you helped make it possible.

Sometime we think pain only takes things away.

Then we look a little closer.

It teaches to be kinder because you never really know what someone is carrying. It changed the way we celebrate achievements because we know what it feels like to fight for every step forward. And it gives is a kind of growth we never would have chosen, but one we are grateful for today.

Pain didn't make life easier. It makes us see life differently.

It stripped away what didn't matter and reminds that strength isn't pretending you're okay. It's choosing to keep showing up when your heart is heavy.

There is beauty in pain—not because pain itself is beautiful, but because of what it can grow inside of us. More compassion. More gratitude. More resilience. More purpose.

Sometimes our greatest growth begins in the seasons we never wanted to walk through. 🌿
