My Nonprofit Reviews

When my husband died three years ago a part of me died with him. I was lost alone and very scared left to raise a challenging 13-year-old alone. I found Camp Widow about a year after my husband died through research and decided to go.

I was shocked when I walked into the registration for the conference and found 300 people, who were just like me. Well not really, they were men and women from all backgrounds, but they understood the pain of losing a spouse. This was a place I was able to build my network of widowed people who understood the struggles of this new life we didn't ask for.

Camp Widow and its founder, Michelle Neff Hernandez, and all of the Soaring Spirits staff are amazing. They are constantly creating new programming to support the underserved widow population. In the face of the current pandemic, the Soaring Spirits Team created a virtual camp widow to allow people the opportunity to connect virtually during a time when many were isolated.
