"This unbelievably dedicated committee contributed countless hours of talent and work for a cause they are passionate about. We thank each of you for making a difference in the lives of our grieving families through The Healing Patch."
The Healing Patch provides peer mentoring and support services to children and families who have experienced the death of a loved one.
Founded in 2006, The Healing Patch is supported by individual and community donations, local grants and fundraisers, and is staffed by volunteers.
The services are provided free of charge to any child and their family. Centers in Blair and Cambria counties serve families from throughout the region.
The Healing Patch provides a safe place for children to voice their grief and participate in activities with their peers who have suffered similar losses.
