Where Compassion Meets the Courage to Keep Going**
Grief and Healing brings together missions that walk beside people during the hardest chapters of their lives. Loss, trauma, illness, sudden change — these experiences don’t care about geography, background, or circumstance. They touch every human being, everywhere. And when they do, the support that helps someone stand back up can come from across the street or across the world.
A parent grieving a child. A survivor rebuilding after trauma. A family navigating illness. A community healing from tragedy. A stranger offering hope because the story hits home.
This page highlights Mission Partners whose work brings comfort, strength, guidance, and healing to those who need it most. Some offer emotional support. Some provide practical resources. Some create safe spaces for people to breathe again. All of them represent missions that deserve to be lifted by anyone who feels their message.
Your purchases make that possible. Your heart chooses the mission. Your support helps these partners continue the work that eases pain, restores hope, and reminds people they are not alone.
On April 9, 2011 my wife was watching our 3-year-old son (Bladyn) and our 5-year-old daughter (Raven) while I was at work. After playing all morning in the yard, my wife put our son down for a nap (It’s important to point out that my wife was suffering from pneumonia at this time). Bladyn did not want to take a nap so he began to run around our property (3 acres) in protest. After making a lap and 1/4, my wife noticed that he had gotten out of the yard because he vanished behind the barn.
The Martyred Angels Foundation is a deeply compassionate organization created from unimaginable loss and transformed into a mission of healing, connection, and support for families grieving the death of a child.

Their mission is rooted in community, understanding, and the belief that no family should walk through grief alone. Martyred Angels provides cemetery plot assistance so families can remain close to their loved one, equestrian therapy to help restore emotional balance, group support meetings, grief camps, temporary financial assistance, and access to specialized PTSD resources for those directly impacted by traumatic loss.

Veterans Honoring Veterans is a heartfelt organization created by veterans and supporters who believe every United States military veteran deserves recognition for their service. Their mission is to honor veterans in Northern Colorado and surrounding communities by presenting them with a commemorative statue representing their branch of service. These statues are fully funded by generous sponsors and donors, ensuring that every honored veteran receives their tribute at no cost.
Statue presentations take place twice a month at the PAMVET Proud American Military Veteran breakfast at the Golden Corral in Loveland Colorado. This gathering began with two World War II veterans in 2008 and has grown into a weekly community of more than one hundred fifty veterans who meet to share stories, support one another, and celebrate service. Each presentation includes the Pledge of Allegiance, a prayer, veteran updates, and a moment of recognition that honors the veteran and their family.
Veterans Honoring Veterans also provides United States flag folding ceremonies and flag retirement ceremonies. These services allow families and communities to honor loved ones with dignity and respect. The organization continues to expand its reach through donors, sponsors, and community reward programs that help fund statues and ceremonies for future veterans.
Their work is rooted in gratitude, community, and the belief that every veteran’s story matters. Each statue presentation becomes a moment of connection between generations, branches of service, and families who have sacrificed alongside their loved ones.
Community Pay It Forward gives supporters a simple way to help Veterans Honoring Veterans without spending extra money or making a traditional donation. When someone shops with a Giving Partner and sends in their receipt, a portion of that purchase is directed to the Mission Partner chosen by the shopper. By selecting Veterans Honoring Veterans, everyday purchases help fund commemorative statues, ceremonies, and veteran outreach.
This support strengthens the mission by helping provide more statues, expanding presentation events, and ensuring that every veteran who is nominated can be honored. It also helps the organization continue offering flag ceremonies and community recognition services that bring families together.
Every receipt becomes a way to honor a veteran. Every purchase becomes a moment of gratitude. Every supporter becomes part of the mission to recognize the men and women who served our country.
