What does legacy mean to you?
A person’s legacy is the reputation they leave behind with their life’s work or example—how they are remembered.
Part of what we do at Lost & Found Grief Center is help grieving individuals and families recall their loved ones’ legacies. Those legacies are not about material wealth or prestige, but about memories – memories that include the everyday fun children have with their parents, such as making cookies with Mom at Christmastime or eating wings with Dad during the Chiefs game.
Through recollection and preserving those memories, grieving children, adults, and families find help, hope, and healing.
For 25 years, Lost & Found has offered its therapeutic grief support groups at no cost to the families we serve, thanks to the generosity of individuals who want their legacy to support those who are grieving.
As we look ahead to the next 25 years, we invite you to make Lost & Found a part of your legacy. The “Legacy of Hope” wall, which will be displayed prominently at the entrance to our grief center, will honor the people and stories that make our mission possible. Every name inscribed represents not just a donation, but a commitment to ensuring that grieving children, teens, adults, and families have a safe, non-judgmental place to heal.
We invite you to be a part of Lost & Found’s Legacy of Hope and imagine a world where no one has to grieve alone. Donation levels of $5,000, $7500, $10,000, and $20,000, and spaces can be reserved through the end of 2025.
