The Children of Oklahoma City
Amidst the challenges of COVID-19 , we extended our reach and shipped Grief Heroes Kit's containing Grief Workbooks to 18 inner-city schools in Oklahoma City. In collaboration with 525 teachers and school counselors, the book were distributed to grieving students in need.
These donations have helped children begin to understand their grief and confusion by providing them context and language to process difficult emotions.
Oklahoma iCity, the 9th poorest state in the country, faces significant challenges. School professionals have limited resources to assist grieving students, making the provision of these valuable tools a significant relief for many families.
The school professionals have next to no budget to help their grieving students.
When we first reached out to Emily Kloeppel, a teacher at Windsor Hills Elementary School, she showed great interest in collaborating with us. and distribute our tools to her colleagues. expressed the impact of this inisiative:
Emily Kloeppel, along with her dedicated colleagues, has worked tirelessly to distribute the Grief Heroes Donations to the teachers & school counselors within the school district.
"In a school where trauma is abundant, and teachers and counselors are doing everything they can to help, the hope these Grief Heroes donations bring can't be overstated. These donations are helping hundreds of students and families in Oklahoma City."
Emily Kloeppel,
Teacher, Putnam School District
The response from families are overwhelming positive, and we are beginning to witness the impact of our efforts.
The Grief Heroes Kits are not only benefitting the children but also parents, and in some instances grandparents.
We continue to gather feedback from teachers, school counselors, and families, with plans to publish feedback from teachers, school counselors, and families, with plans to publish the results in 2024.

Future Goals
Our goal to donate Grief Heroes Kits to Elementary Students nationwide and expanding The Grief Heroes Program for further impact.
We aim to collaborate with organizations focused on children's mental wellbeing. By equipping children with life skills to help them cope with adversity, we can work together to address loneliness and foster resilience, creating a more hopeful generation,
