Transforming Grief to Growth
Hi, we are deeply sorry you've found us - but we are here with you and for you...
Our mission is to create a welcoming and safe place for the bereaved to experience a community with others who understand; bringing comfort, encouragement, companionship, and hope. We affirm each child's life matters no matter how brief a time they were here; ultimately creating a community in which no one has to endure the loss of a child(ren) on their own. We are driven to fund the support that is helpful and meaningful to you and your families on this journey.
We aim to support families and individuals who have faced the tragic loss of a child(ren) at ANY stage of life; including stillbirth, miscarriage and termination for medical reasons. Every person who has experienced the loss of a child(ren) will have access to Weeping Willa's resources - such as community events, social support, and professional care from a local clinic -helping families to live a hopeful and meaningful life as they move forward with their grief.

Cassie Fjosne
Founder/President
I am humbled and very much looking forward to honoring our daughter, Willa. It is important to me to be a lead role in helping families find hope in the pain that comes with the loss of a child. As President, I promise to be readily accessible for every person on their grief journey. Please don't hesitate to reach out at info@WeepingWilla.org for any questions or needs you may have.

Co-Founder/Vice President/Treasurer
After losing our daughter, Willa, it became clear to me that we do not have any local community support groups to honor our lost loved ones. My wife had a calling to continue to do something meaningful to honor our daughter. I am fully supportive of that - in any form, because without Willa's presence, I could have lost my wife - and our son could've lost his mom. I am excited to do some good for our community in our daughter's name, and to make a lasting impact and overall stability for Weeping Willa to succeed.
Weeping Willa Grant
Weeping Willa aims to support families in need by alleviating expenses incurred during the loss of a child. Recognizing the significance of providing a dignified final resting place and acknowledgment, as well as therapy services and other necessary arrangements. We strive to lighten the financial burden on bereaved parents, facilitating their healing journey through grant awards. These awards will be determined by fund availability and financial necessity. Thanks to our community members and support from local businesses, we are able to offer these grants.
Weeping Willa's mission would not be possible without the generosity of our community.
