Hello my name is Antonio (Tony) Diaz.  In October of 2014 my son suddenly passed away.  Shortly after his passing, in desperate need for grief support.  I sought out programs in my community to help me with the healing process.  However, to my surprise there are very few resources available that address parents who have lost a child.  As a result in January 2015 I decided to pursue and develop Parents at a Loss,  (PAAL) Foundation in hope of being able to provide grief support counseling to other parents who have also experienced the tragic loss of losing a child.  The Parents at a Loss Foundation's holistic concept is to provide; support grief counseling to parents and families through care, coping strategies and self empowerment.  Parents at a Loss Foundation (PAAL) is a no cost service to parents and their families, servicing the greater Inland Empire community of San Bernardino County.  The program will offer; weekly grief support counseling, resource and referral assistance, advocacy support, 24hr local hot-line services, and burial assistance to low-income families.  
All funds received from this campaign will cover start up costs for corporate state and federal filing fees and operating expenses.  On behalf of the Parents at a Loss Foundation (PAAL) there are no words to express our gratitude and appreciation for your generosity in helping to develop and grow the PAAL Foundation.
