Financial relief after suicide loss

You shouldn't have to grieve and worry about money at the same time.

Direct financial relief for families after the loss of an immediate family member to suicide.

Our mission

To ease the financial burden on families after the loss of a loved one to suicide — so they can focus on healing and recovery during their time of grief.

Families who lose someone to suicide often face sudden costs — funeral expenses, lost income, unexpected bills — at the most painful moment of their lives, and frequently with less support than other forms of loss. We exist to lift some of that weight.
