The Sharing Place Experience

I think it is critical to have a program for children who have lost a parent to be with other children who know and understand what they are going through. It is a blessing to have The Sharing Place. It would be a great loss not to have this for an out for teens. If it could help one child then it is worth its weight in gold.
