What to Expect
-
Fill out the referral form. You will become the liaison between us and the family.
-
We will create different options of either an experience or gift for you to review for the child. Parents (either one or two) are included in the experiences if and when appropriate.
-
After approval, we will move forward with planning/scheduling all event/gift details. Turnaround time for gift deliveries ranges depending on the item(s). Some items ship quickly while other events may be planned months in advance.
-
You will relay the plans to the family for them to participate.
-
Afterwards, follow up with us on how it went.
Our Goals
-
To fulfill our mission statement, making the bereaved child feel loved, special, and not forgotten during this difficult time.
-
To not communicate with the family directly unless at the request of the liaison.
-
To seamlessly create a special experience for the child without causing additional stress on the family during this already difficult time.
