Wildflower is dedicated to serving children and families who have experienced the death of a parent. We provide the gifts of camp, enriching experiences, and consistent, long-term support to help families strengthen their resilience and create positive opportunities for the future.

Wildflower will use this sustaining grant in direct support of our bereaved children and families, with particular emphasis on providing our core programs of summer camp and year-round support. "This vote of confidence by the Cummings Foundation makes it possible for Wildflower to increase the number of children and families we serve. It is transformational for every part of our organization." says Audrey Loria, Executive Director
