“When I first learned about Friends of Aine, I was blown away by the work this incredible team has been doing in New Hampshire. The skills and relationships fostered through our peer-to-peer support programs would have powerful benefits for any child or family, and they can be truly life-changing for those who are grieving the death of a loved one. I am proud to have joined forces with such passionate, strategic thinkers who are dedicated to supporting kids, and I am energized to connect our organization with the resources to grow and to serve more families for years to come.”

” After serving 25 years as a Middle School Guidance Counselor, I am honored to now be a part of the FoA family. Working here is such a meaningful way to continue my own personal mission of helping children and families navigate the difficult and complex world of grief and loss. The staff and volunteers here are full of compassionate dedication to the common goal of easing the pain of grief and helping those grieving to know they are not alone. FoA is a gift to our community, and it is a blessing for me to be able to share in this much needed work.”
