About This Cause
Rick's Place is named for Rick Thorpe, a Wilbraham native, who died in the second tower on 9/11. In his honor, Rick's Place provides grief support to children ages 5-18 at our on-site program which meets every other week throughout the school year. Rick's Place staff and intensively trained volunteers also facilitate grief groups in area schools. We know that children who are grieving the loss of a parent, caregiver or sibling feel isolated and often experience difficulties at school. Our participants tell us that being with their same age peers, who understand some of what they are going through, makes them feel less alone. They appreciate being offered an opportunity to work on their grief by sharing their feelings. We thank any donors, in advance, for helping us to continue this very important work.
