JD Foundation receives Maine Community Foundation grant

ABBOT — The JD Foundation has received a $7,136 grant from the Piscataquis County Fund of the Maine Community Foundation to allow the organization to hold a three-day event called “A Journey Through Grief”, especially designed for women who have lost a loved one to suicide.

This grant will help many who struggle with the aftermath of losing someone to suicide and in dealing with the complicated feelings. Those who cannot afford to attend an event like this will now have the opportunity.

The non-profit JD Foundation was founded in October of 2008 after the loss of, William Jody Day. Day’s family knows first hand how this type of loss affects others and they are dedicating to helping others through the process so that they will better their coping skills, form friendships they might not have had otherwise and to learn the natural effects that nature has as a healing tool.
