To all of you who took part in the Mindy Lauf Golf Outing...
The staff with Putnam County HomeCare and Hospice would like to thank you for your generous donation made to our Good Grief Fun Camp.
1 year ago, Trina Lauf came to me and said that they were having a golf outing in honor of her sister Mindy and they would like to donate the proceeds to our grief camp. At that time, I started crying because we had used all of our money for that year...in fact, I had been really stretching $500 for almost 4 years...really trying to be good stewards with the money. WE never turned children away for the inability to pay and always saw the camp as a necessary event for children to experience in the event that they suffered a tragic loss...whether sudden or prepared (so to speak)...so that they could continue to have a safe place to express their grief in addition to learning other ways to handle grief.
Children grieve in so many different ways...just as adults do. The key is remembering that they do grieve and that they see how we grieve...good and bad.
This camp has been such an incredible experience for not only the children, but also myself. I am so lucky to be a part of such an incredible group of children and facilitators.
Many Thanks for your generosity and support.
Julia Mason, Putnam County HomeCare & Hospice
