Your Impact at a Glance

  • 2,353 people supported in 143 communities
  • 222 group sessions and 476 counselling sessions offered
  • 97% of participants felt more connected to community
  • 98% felt more hopeful after a Lumara program

In a country with no national bereavement strategy, your generosity ensures grieving children, youth, and families are not alone. Through Camp Kerry, grief counselling, youth retreats, and year-round programs, you are helping to break the silence around loss and build communities of healing.

As Kate, an active member of our youth leadership program and recently elected board member said: “One of the most powerful lessons Lumara taught me is that grief needs a voice… I believe that talking about grief openly, honestly, and without fear is one of the most life-affirming acts we can offer each other.”

Together, we are creating a future where loss can be met with compassion, connection, and courage. 

Thank You for Walking Beside Us

Every step of healing begins with community – and you are part of that journey. By exploring this report, we hope you see the life-changing impact you have made, and consider how you can continue to support life after loss.
