Magic in Three Phases:
Grief Heroes Family Portal
In the first phase, we aim to create the Grief Heroes Family Portal, a platform featuring workbooks in interactive and digital form and educational videos to aid parents and adults in supporting grieving children. This portal provides nationwide access to essential grief tools and resources, bridging the gap of distance and enabling online support for families. The platform allows family and compassionate friends to interact with children online in a safe space, fostering a collaborative approach for healing.
The second phase, involves developing a musical based on the super hero from our workbooks. We have laid the groundwork for this unique musical play, with the music, storyline and team in place to bring this uplifting program to live. Our collaboration with a venues like Dr. Philips Center for Arts, will enable us to launch the musical in 2025, targeting elementary students and teachers in central florida. The story of Super Dog Zam, written by a nine year old boy, imparts life skills in a fun and engaging manner, settling the stage for future book adaptions across states.
