We had to put our Spirit fundraiser on hold briefly, but we’re staring it up again! We’ve raised around $500 already! Plus we got to meet Spirit last week 🩷 she is the sweetest puppy and will be a wonderful asset to Riley Grief Services! Follow Spirit on IG!

“Therapy dogs provide a nonjudgmental companionship that eases anxiety, softens loneliness, and can gently lift the heaviness that can accompany grief. Research has shown that their presence encourages emotional expression, especially in children who may not yet have the language to express themselves. These dogs become emotional anchors, helping to build trust and connection within counseling sessions and groups. Pet therapy offers something truly special: a gentle, steady presence that brings warmth, comfort, and connection when words often fall short.”

Jasper was at our last Grief Retreat and Olivia loved him, as did all the children there. Losing a baby sister before ever meeting her is not something I saw in our future. I’m forever grateful for Riley Grief Services and their constant effort to help grieving families.

The new goal for Spirit’s therapy school is $2,600!
