A Short Welcome
No Family Should Carry This Alone
The loss of a child changes every part of a family’s life. Alongside the emotional weight of grief, families may face unexpected funeral expenses, limited resources, isolation, and the fear that their child will be forgotten.
The Light We Carry Foundation was created to provide compassionate financial assistance, meaningful remembrance, trusted resources, and a community that continues showing up.
Based in Boise, Idaho, The Light We Carry Foundation currently serves families throughout Idaho while building toward expanding our reach in the future.
