Help Us Launch:

Rooted in Compassion Pilot

The JunneBug Foundation is in its startup phase, and we need your support to bring our vision to life. Our first initiative, the Rooted in Compassion Pilot, is designed to provide trauma-informed grief support for youth impacted by loss, incarceration, and systemic harm. With your help, we can create a safe space for healing, empowerment, and resilience.

Our Goal:

We aim to raise $50,000 to fully fund the Rooted in Compassion Pilot. These funds will allow us to provide essential grief support resources, hire professional therapists and facilitators, and offer monthly healing circles for youth who have experienced premature loss or trauma. Every donation brings us closer to creating a world where grief is recognized as a fundamental human right, not a privilege.

About the Rooted in Compassion Pilot:

The Rooted in Compassion Pilot is a trauma-informed, youth-centered program designed to:

  • Provide monthly grief support circles led by licensed therapists and grief counselors.

  • Offer one-on-one sessions for youth to explore and process their grief in a safe environment.

  • Foster community and peer support, creating a sense of belonging and understanding.

  • Integrate creative expression and reflective activities, allowing participants to process grief through art, journaling, and movement.

  • Equip youth with tools for resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, helping them navigate life with hope and empowerment.

This pilot program will serve as the foundation for future initiatives, shaping how the JunneBug Foundation can best support grieving youth in our community.
