Non-profit raising funds to help children who have lost parents [Video]

DENVER, Colo — A nonprofit is providing support for young girls who have lost a parent. EmpowerHer is an international nonprofit that pairs the children with mentors who have experienced a similar loss.

The group provides in-person events that remind the children and young adults that they are not alone in grief, in addition to one-on-one mentoring with positive role models to show children that loss is survivable.

“Going through my whole life, I didn’t know who she was,” said Kristin Regan, an EmpowerHer mentor who lost her mother at age three. “I didn’t have that motherly unconditional love.”

Regan is a recent mentor, joining EmpowerHer in late 2022. For the past few months Regan has worked with a young girl named Monroe, who lost her mother when she was just four-years-old.

“It gives me a chance to heal someone else,which is healing in and of itself,” said Regan.
