Our Mission:
Live your normal.
We want to help children who have lost a parent “live their normal” through activities, sports, education, or extracurricular involvement.
What We Care About
Families experience immeasurable changes after the loss of a parent. Many children sacrifice the little normal they have left because of family necessities, such as managing mortgage payments, buying and cooking food, health care, and more.
Our goal is to help those families balance life and live their normal.
How We Use Donations
Proceeds are dedicated to ensuring children in our local communities are given opportunities that might not be possible because they lost a parent early in life.

Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.
