Community Group for Grieving moms

Over a year ago, it became obvious there was a need for a Rising Above community group specifically focused on moms who have lost a child with special needs. The group began and the women began meeting together via Zoom. This month, they attended a grief retreat together in Wisconsin, meeting each other in person for the first time! These ladies have developed a bond across the country and were able to have a wonderful weekend together.

Because of your generosity, Rising Above can create spaces for parents of children with special needs to build community, make lifelong friendships, and ultimately point one another to Jesus!

Know a special-needs parent looking for community? All of our community groups are listed on the page linked above.

Rising Above Ministries' mission is to provide hope and encouragement to special-needs families both locally and around-the-world, and offering events for families with special needs is moving that mission forward in amazing ways!
