Heather Nesle & Maria Collins of New York Life Foundation Discuss Brave of Heart Fund and Book The Golden Sweater
I had such a great discussion with Heather Nesle and Maria Collins of the New York Life Foundation for this episode.
Heather discusses their new initiative – The Brave of Heart Fund – which provides monetary grants to the family of front-line healthcare workers and volunteers who lose their lives because of Covid-19. Please share this discussion with all healthcare workers you know – they or their colleagues may need it.
Maria discusses the New York Life Foundation’s work in the area of childhood bereavement, including their new e-book download for kids, The Golden Sweater. It’s free to download, plus they are donating $1 to childhood bereavement programs for each download. She also discusses the new documentary, Speaking Grief, and tells us how to watch.
I hope you enjoy my discussion with Heather Nesle and Maria Collins of the New York Life Foundation.
