My Nonprofit Reviews

Kate's Club is heaven sent. My father died when I was 8 years old and there was no Kate's Club around for me. Fast forward 10 years later, living in another state, and attending college I became a volunteer with Kate's Club. At 18 years old, working hand in hand with the children and teens I have seen tremendous growth within myself. The kids give me life and I can't be without them for a long time. As a kid who lost her dad, Kate's Club taught me that I am not alone and it is okay to grieve. I have found such a great supporters to my life working with other volunteers and the kids. It's an amazing feeling walking into a room where the kids and volunteers know each other by names and not "the boy in the blue shirt". Kate's Club leaves an lasting imprint on your heart.

Kate's Club is NOT a place where you are being examined. Kate's Club is NOT a place where you feel judged. Kate's Club is NOT a place where people are trying the find a 'problem' with you. Kate's Club is NOT a place where you sit and remember your loved ones, in a room - at an empty table.

At Kate's Club I laugh more than I cry, smile more than i'm sad. The reasons I keep going back to Kate's Club: 97% I have so much fun! 1%I have great friends (volunteers & kids) 1% I'm still growing within my grieving process 1% I love the see the children grow through their grieving. (percentages not to scale: the point is.. it's fun!)

If you're looking for a place to play, share, and grieve with one another I urge you to start with Kate's Club. Don't go to another organization and get a bad taste in a child's life about 'what' support is. Us kids who lose a mom, dad, sibling, grandparent, etc. are grieving. Grieve in style with friends at Kate's Club where you are never alone!
