Do you have measures to show the impact of my gift?As entrepreneurs, we operate like a business. Being transparent and having clear measures are integral to our work. Because we are new, we are not at the point yet where we can provide metrics. However, we know that unresolved grief can lead to a lifetime of challenging issues. Grieving children and their parents need comprehensive support and the benefit of world-class thinking. In our work, we seek to provide useful, data-driven and proven supports, while also being open to change and new Ideas.
