2013 Erin`s House Annual Report - Erin`s House for Grieving Children
Every Penny Counts
I’m sure you’ve been told that every Penny counts, but does it? Did you know that if you started with one cent and doubled your money
every day for 30 days, you’d have $5,368,709.12. The power of the penny really adds up! We wanted to share a few stories with you about
people who share their ‘pennies’ with us. Read, in their own words, why they donate to Erin’s House for Grieving Children.

Erin’s house provides a time tested service that helps children,
families, and communities successfully work through the
grieving process. By donating to Erin’s House, services are
able to remain at no cost to individuals using the support
programs. If we can guide others to Erin’s House, we reduce
many of the adverse psychological impacts which can remain
with the person throughout the lifespan, which is something
I see individuals struggle with on the university campus.
Erin’s house provides an invaluable role here in
northeast Indiana. Eric Norman,
IPFW Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students
What would you say
to someone that gives
money to Erin’s House?
I would tell them thank you for giving all the money for the
building and the activities we do. It’s truly helping a lot of
people, including me. I understand what it is to lose a loved
one, I know how hard it is for my mom and I and we are
definitely getting better through Erin’s House.
Jonathon, Erin’s House Kid
Dear Friends,
In a word, 2013 was a MONUMENTAL year at Erin’s House
for Grieving Children. We were able to see our founders’
dream of providing a “home-like setting” for grieving
children and their families become a reality. For the first
time in our 21+ year history, Erin’s House not only offers the
children’s grief support services of a wonderful team of
volunteers and staff but also a warm and welcoming home
for our kids and their families.
Yet just as no child at Erin’s House grieves alone, we did
not accomplish this monumental task alone. More than
250 individual donors, corporations and foundations
supported our capital campaign, over 1,000 donors
supported our programs and services, and countless
community champions encouraged us throughout the year.
Significant accomplishments during 2013 included:
★ Completed construction and moved into the first
stand-alone facility in the state of Indiana dedicated
to providing peer support for grieving children
Thank you for healing hearts…

In a word, 2014 sees Erin’s House realizing OPPORTUNITIES.
Our transition from renters to homeowners has created
opportunities for growth on all fronts - Programming,
Special Events, Development.
We are so grateful for your continuing support of
Erin’s House for Grieving Children. You make it possible
for us to continue providing support services for children,
teens and their families who have suffered the death of a
loved one. On behalf of our staff, volunteers and board of
directors – and most importantly our kids and their families
– Thank You!
