Become a Member of Hospice Foundation . . .

community is the sum of its members--families, neighbors, friends, the shopowner, the postmaster, the school teacher, the spiritual leader, and the children.  At any time, any one of these members can be affected by a life-threatening illness or may be trying to cope with the loss of a loved one. 

Adrienne's grandfather was the apple of her eye.  They enjoyed doing many things together.  After her grandfather died, Adrienne, 12, was so sad, she could barely function in school and at home.  Her mother was very worried about her.  She called Griefbusters, a local program funded by your membership in Hospice Foundation, to help her daughter.  Over time and with counseling, Adrienne became stronger emotionally and her grades improved.  Today, at 18, Adrienne is doing well.

Sometimes these situations touch us personally, and sometimes they don't.  But universally we will all be affected by these things, at some time or another.

embership in Hospice Foundation makes you part of a very special community--one that shares an understanding of how hospice care and bereavement support can make a difference in the lives of so many people around us, including our own family.

It goes beyond the sum of its parts--it defines the essence of what a community is about--caring, compassion, and support for our families, neighbors, friends and associates...every day.
