Bri's Lodge

Bri's Lodge This non-profit was started in memory of our daughter, BriAnna Kruzel who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 18 on September 28, 2013 from natural causes.

Bri's Lodge /What Would Bri Do is a non-profit 501c3 that helps individuals cope with loss, support their healing, nurture their physical and emotional well-being and bring hope for the future-No one should grieve alone. Throughout BriAnna’s life she was very active and passionate about Girl Scouts. Her greatest love was working with Big Brothers Big Sisters. In 2013 she was nominated and won High

School Big Sister of the Year, something she was very proud of. BriAnna also received the Youth Appreciation Award through the St. Cloud Optimist Club for her hard work with Big Brothers Big Sisters. BriAnna gave much of her time volunteering and was very involved with the Sartell Community Ed Dance program. In her free time she enjoyed scrapbooking, crafting and being around animals. She was a very happy person that had an infectious smile that would light up a room. In an attempt to honor her legacy of giving back, the goal of our non-profit is to continue giving back to the community that she loved.

Bri’s Lodge is honored to offer 1:1 Companioning sessions for individuals who are navigating grief, life changes, or emotional overwhelm and would benefit from a supportive, compassionate presence.

Whether you are walking through recent loss or carrying long-term grief, you do not have to do it alone.

A Health Care Directive is a simple but important document that allows you to put your medical wishes in writing and choose someone you trust to speak for you if you are ever unable to make decisions yourself.

It can include:
✔️ Your preferences for medical care

✔️ Guidance for your loved ones and care team

This workshop is designed to make the process easy, clear, and stress-free—no legal background needed.
