Leveraging Loss into Leadership: 180 Widows’ Empowerment Center 2019 Update!
I’m excited to share with you our quick updates! Please take a few minutes to watch our brief video sharing incredible stories of widow triumph!
Our sister nonprofit, the 180 Your Grief Widows’ Empowerment Center, a 501c3, is Ministry Venture certified and the only full-time, independent widows’ empowerment center in Atlanta!
Friends, I am asking for your support at a critical time.
As we launch into 2019, we are asking our community for your immediate support and partnership. A significant donor who helped make our work possible is no longer able to partner with us at the same level. We are deeply grateful for their participation and now ask for your help as we must raise $54,000 annually or $4,500 per month to sustain our widows’ center and comprehensive programs.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation of any size to help us continue providing young widows and their families with the support they desperately need. Find out more here: 180YourGrief.org
