“I chose to volunteer at Camp Red Bird because I wanted to gain more experience working with kids—especially in a space that supports children with a sibling in the hospital. I loved connecting with the campers; it reminded me of how special my own camp experiences were growing up.
I want to support families however I can by helping make their stay a little less stressful and giving kids a chance to just be kids during a really hard time.”
-LILLY BROWER, PREVIOUS CAMP RED BIRD COUNSELOR
HOPE Support Group
Our HOPE Support Group offers bereavement care for families who have lost a child. The group offers a safe and nurturing environment for families to navigate their grief journey together, facilitated by professionals, and completely free of charge. The HOPE Support Group is completely secular and not affiliated with any specific religion or faith. The group is open to all families experiencing perinatal loss, regardless of if they have stayed with us in our Ronald McDonald House or Family Rooms.
New session schedule coming soon! If you are interested in attending a Support Group, please complete the registration link.
