"Almost 20 years ago, my wife and I co-founded Judi's House in honor of my mother, Judi. When I was only 12 years old, my mom died of breast cancer. Throughout my teen years, I felt isolated and alone. We created Judi's House to fulfill a vision that no child should be alone in grief. We believe that through effective care and support in a safe and comfortable setting that children and families grieving a death can find connection and healing. We continue to grow to meet the overwhelming amount of need in our community and beyond. Thank you for making an enormous difference in the lives of grieving children and families." - Brian Griese, Judi's House/JAG Institute Co-Founder and Board Chairman
