Many attendees have used crowdfunding to make their participation possible. 

  • Crowdfunding offers an opportunity for a community to come together and support a grieving mother during one of the most difficult times in her life. Many people want to help but don't always know how to offer the right kind of support. By contributing to a crowdfunding campaign for a retreat, they can provide a grieving mother with the gift of healing, rest, and connection with others who understand her pain.

Here are some resources: 

  • GoFundMe: One of the most well-known crowdfunding platforms, GoFundMe allows individuals to create personal fundraising campaigns for various causes, including medical expenses, memorial funds, or personal healing. It's easy to set up and share, and many people are familiar with it.

  • Fundly: This platform allows individuals to raise money for personal causes, including health, memorials, or recovery. It’s user-friendly and allows for easy sharing on social media to increase visibility and support.

  • YouCaring (now part of GoFundMe): This platform focuses on personal causes, including medical expenses and bereavement. It's often used for raising money for emotional or physical healing after loss.

  • Kickstarter: While typically used for creative projects, Kickstarter can also be a great option if the retreat is part of a larger healing project (like a community-focused event or resource for grieving mothers). It works best when there is a specific goal or project tied to the campaign.

  • GiveSendGo: A Christian-based crowdfunding platform that is often used for personal, religious, and charitable causes. It’s a good option if the retreat aligns with spiritual healing or if the community is faith-based.
