Bo's Place - Where Children are Heard and Hearts are Healed

Thanks to Anne Pullen of the Garden Club of Houston, who generously donated over 400 bulbs to Bo’s Place, a new family support group activity was conceived.  In late 2009, families of Bo’s Place planted the bulbs as a part of the “Wishes for Growth” activity.  Now the bulbs are blooming, reminding participants that, just as a flower bulb changes from something rather strange and unattractive into a beautiful flower, so do people change and grow during the grief journey.

The Baylor-Methodist Community Fund recently funded a grant request, enabling Bo's Place to continue the mission of enhancing the lives of those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.  Thanks to Baylor-Methodist Community Fund for their continued generosity and support of our program.

Members of the Sunrizon Group, a weekly gathering of adults from a local Methodist church, generously provided a delicious meal for Bo’s Place families last week.  The food was home-made by the group, and then served with welcoming smiles to the families.  We appreciate the Sunrizon members for their service to Bo’s Place!

Three very special members of Daisy Troop #25239, Sarina, Lily and Tessa, sold Girl Scout Cookies for a cause this year.  As a result, they took the time to come out and learn about Bo’s Place, and they also donated three boxes of cookies.  Thanks to the generosity of these three young volunteers, the families of Bo’s Place will enjoy delicious Girl Scout Cookies this year!

The SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) student group from University of Houston prepared a wonderful meal for Bo’s Place families last week.  The students prepared a home cooked meal and pleasantly greeted families upon arrival for the evening.  We thank SHRM for their continued support of the Family Support Group program at Bo’s Place.
