Grief’s Journey Celebrates Donations from Omaha Gives! with “Blooms of Hope” Display

In order to give a visual representation of the hope fostered during Omaha Gives!—a 24-hour online giving day which took place on May 20—Grief’s Journey (griefsjourney.org) came up with a creative way to celebrate each donation with a “Blooms of Hope” display. Through this initiative, a paper flower was added to a large HOPE framework for every donation made to their organization or to HEALing Embrace. Special messages to loved ones and names of those who have died were added to the blooms.

In total, Grief’s Journey received $11,603.91 in donations, and they reached their match goal of $10,500. The idea behind “Blooms of Hope” was to remind people of the power of hope, compassion, and kindness as well as being a public art memorial.

Grief’s Journey has been a welcoming, safe place for grieving children, teens, and adults to find hope since 2001. As the region’s cornerstone for grief support, Grief’s Journey provides free peer support programs, training, education, and consultation throughout Nebraska and Iowa.
