Julien's House is encouraging everyone who has lost a loved one to share their name in a new fundraising campaign.
The organization offers companionship and peer-to-peer counselling to people grieving a loss.
The lawn sign campaign will help raise funds for programming and restorative activities offered through Julien's House. It encourages people to say their loved ones' name out loud and to share memories with their community.
“This campaign is about igniting a movement, a collective effort towards educating people about grief,” said Laura Kay Masse, Executive Director of Julien’s House. “Each person, every name and every memory matters because it represents our commitment to remember their life and support those left behind.
Lawn signs can be purchased through the Julien's House website. The community is invited to write the name of their loved one on it and help shed light on the importance of speaking the names of the people they've lost.
