We have been able to order grave markers for 15 so far.
It will take a few weeks for them to come it...but, we are SO excited!
With those orders in place...we still have enough money to work on our second order of 15!
Never in a million years, did I think there was a need for grave markers...
nor, did I ever think that people would help us the way they have.
Thank you.
We walked around a few cemetaries this weekend...and your donations are going to go a LONG way to helping these graves that do not have markers.
The families will be so honored.
Once a recent visit to a local cemetary, I was struck by the amount of gravesites that didn't have headstones.
When I inquired at the office about this, they informed me that there were SO many families that just couldn't afford them. Sometimes it would just take a few weeks for them to come up with the money to order them...but, many times...it would be months if not years...and often then, forgot about.
That's when I attended a grief counseling group and asked a few of the participants if they'd be interested in my mission to help provide headstones for those families that couldn't afford them.
The Giving Group was formed. Last year alone, we were able to provide over 10 headstones...with a goal this year to provide at least 20.
The average headstone marker is about $300.
With your help, we can reach this goal and maybe surpass it.
