"Please send a Friend in Deed Certificate to my sister. The love she has provided to me and my son cannot be measured…"

Do you know someone who deserves special recognition?

We all know someone who has been the cornerstone of our child’s success. Or that special someone we turn to in a crisis who has always been able to guide us. Please consider awarding that special someone whose actions are always beyond the call of duty with a certificate recognizing them as a FRIEND IN DEED. Submit the form below to FRN and we will make sure that those friends whose acts of kindness and compassion have made a difference in the life of a child and their family are formally recognized. Their names will be printed in FRN's next newsletter.

Download the Friend in Deed form, and mail it, along with $10 per certificate to cover the cost of preparing and mailing each certificate.

HEALING HEARTS SOCIETY Healing Hearts Society

HELPING FAMILIES AT THEIR MOST DIFFICULT TIME

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that’s how awful the loss is.
~ Winston Churchill

Family Resource Network (FRN) announces the establishment of the Healing Hearts Society. The Healing Hearts Society has been formed to offer limited financial assistance to families following the death of their child with special needs. Individuals and organizations throughout FRN’s service area of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties have donated funds to the Healing Heart Society. Currently the Society will offer grants of up to $250 per family.

All requests for funds must be referred to Family Resource Network by a local agency. The Healing Heart Society Committee will review all applications and allocate grants based on available funds.

Family Resource Network is grateful to the members of the Healing Hearts Society. Their donations will offer assistance and support to families at the most difficult time of their lives.

FRN staff can be reached to answer questions or comments at the telephone number listed below, or at frnfamilies@aol.com.
