About Myra’s Kids Foundation
Giving children hope after grief
Losing a loved one early in life is a profoundly devastating experience. Our goal is to help bereft children learn to cope, begin to heal, and discover that there can be hope after a significant death.
We provide year-round support to children and their extended family by funding, initiating, and organizing programs aimed at supporting children dealing with grief.
Every summer, we host a Summer Camp, where bereaved children can honour the memory of a special person who has died.
“Myra’s Kids Foundation is my way of honouring my mother and building on her legacy as I ensure that we provide support to any child who is suffering through the trauma of the loss of someone close to them.”

“Being part of Myra’s Kids Foundation is a privilege. Each child’s story of resilience reaffirms why our board works tirelessly - to ensure no grieving child ever has to walk this journey alone.”
“Seeing first hand the resiliency of these kids and how MKF helps them navigate through their grief journey inspires me every day.
As one of Myra’s grandchildren, it’s incredible to honour her memory by ensuring no child grieves alone.
I look forward to being part of the continued growth of the organization and being able to offer support to any family dealing with the death of a loved one.”
“Our goals are to offer a safe place and space for bereaved children so that they can heal while also helping them discover that there absolutely is life after loss.”
