“They were glad when it grew calm, and He guided them to their desired haven.”
— Psalm 107:30
Watch the video below to see how you can help build The Haven. And if you were at our recent fundraiser and saw Natalie’s one-women show, you’ll appreciate the nod to a well-known infomercial from the ’80’s.
The death of a parent immediately brings chaos and disruption into a kids’ world. Over time their lives eventually grow calm again, but that’s when the hard work of heart work begins. “The Haven” will be a place offering guidance, mentorship and opportunities for healing to children who have lost a parent.
Q: What is the Haven?
A: It will be a place for children who have experienced the death of a parent to connect with each other and receive emotional and practical support through programs and events specially designed to help move them through their grief journey.
Q: What programs/services will you offer?
A. Man Camp is a regular gathering for boys who no longer have fathers to teach and guide them in simple tasks every man should know (i.e. how to start a lawnmower, how to change an air filter, how to throw a ball, how to shake a hand, how to treat a women, etc.). Our “Mentor Dads” have intentional, focused time training these boys to be men of upstanding character.
SHIFT is a 6-week group grief support program for children in grades 2nd through 12th.
The Haven will also be a available for widows and kids to use for potluck dinners and weekend gatherings – “Where Grieving Families Connect.”
Q: Where is the Haven located?
A: Just three blocks east of Broken Halos Haven on the corner of Walters and Henrietta St. in Old Town Lewisville (Lewisville, TX 75057)
Q: What will the building feature?
A: Man Camp garage, an upstairs art studio for SHIFT activities, a 2-story indoor, spiral slide, soft & safe “rumpus room,” large bunk room, and more.
Q: How will the Haven financially sustain itself?
A: When not being used for our youth programs, The Haven can be rented by organizations or individuals needing a fun, indoor facility for meetings, events, birthday parties or sleepovers.
Your gift of any amount goes to support the continued work of Broken Halos Haven in providing hope to grieving families. Our current goal is to raise $250,000 to begin building The Haven.
