 how it works

 
how-it-works-choc.png

After a child has passed away, a social worker at the children’s hospital reaches out to the family with information about the Forever With Us foundation and how we can help.

Oncology social workers submit a request for our assistance.

We work with the family and mortuary of their choice, to provide funds.

Lastly, we aim to have a connection with every family we help, continuing to support them and honor their child- with various holiday gifts and support groups.
