<div>We Did It — And We’re Just Getting Started
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our first Wind Phone is now installed at Reflection Park, the first all-natural burial ground in Silver Spring, Maryland. This space now lives quietly in nature, offering visitors a place to reflect, remember, and speak to loved ones — with their words carried by the wind. (Watch our Good Morning Maryland news segment <a href="https://youtu.be/uy0D7TNgK_8?si=0u2OA9Z6eoBzUG_h" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This milestone was made possible because of your support. Thank you for helping bring this vision to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we’re building what comes next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How your support helps:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Expand Wind Phones across Maryland and beyond. We are actively working to bring Wind Phones into more parks, communities, and public spaces — including a current partnership with the City of Gaithersburg.
</li>
<li>Support a pilot program in Maryland public schools. We are developing a program to introduce Wind Phones into school counseling spaces, giving students a safe and meaningful way to process grief and emotions.
</li>
<li>Fund our children’s book on grief. We are creating a thoughtful, gentle book to help children better understand and navigate loss — something many families and schools deeply need.
</li>
<li>Sustain design and craftsmanship. Each Wind Phone is thoughtfully designed and built in partnership with Bluestone Woodwork, ensuring durability, beauty, and intention in every installation.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps create more spaces where people can pause, reflect, and feel connected to those they love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this mission resonates with you, we would be so grateful for your continued support as we grow The Little Wind Phone Project.

<div>The Little Wind Phone Project is creating peaceful spaces where anyone can pause, reflect, and “speak” to loved ones they’ve lost. Our Wind Phone installations provide a quiet, non-denominational place for emotional healing, connection, and remembrance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently building the first Wind Phone in Montgomery County, located at a Reflection Park and new burial ground in Silver Spring. This installation is entirely community-funded, and your support helps cover materials and construction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also developing an illustrated children’s book on grief and remembrance, designed to help families and educators talk about loss with compassion and clarity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps create accessible spaces and resources that support emotional well-being across Montgomery County. Every contribution — large or small — makes a real impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting healing, connection, and hope in our community.

<div>Grief is universal, but healing doesn’t have to be complicated. <a href="https://www.littlewindphoneproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Little Wind Phone Project</a> creates simple, quiet spaces where anyone can reflect, remember, and find comfort after loss. Your support will help bring our first Wind Phone to life – a place to pause, speak to a loved one, and heal.

</div>
<div>Hi, I’m Olivia Chao Delfert, and I founded The Little Wind Phone Project in June 2025. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating healing spaces by installing Wind Phones in parks, gardens, and other natural settings, providing quiet spots where anyone can pause, reflect, remember, and find comfort after loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Wind Phone is a simple, unconnected phone placed in a quiet outdoor space. It isn’t hooked up to a phone line; it’s a symbolic way to speak to a loved one who has passed. Visitors can sit, reflect, or share memories. Inspired by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_phone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">original Wind Phone</a> in Japan, these spaces provide a gentle, accessible way to process grief and connect with emotions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I started this project:</strong>
</div>
<div>Grief touches all of us – through illness, loss, or life’s toughest moments. I first discovered the original Wind Phone in Japan while looking for ways to cope with my father’s illness. I even tried it using a plastic pink play phone my daughter had. It was surprisingly healing. Recently, with my mother diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I’ve felt waves of grief again and deeply understand how powerful even small, accessible ways of finding comfort can be. A Wind Phone doesn’t replace professional support, but it provides a quiet, restorative space for anyone coping with loss or life’s difficult moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our first installation:</strong>
</div>
<div>Our first Wind Phone will be installed at <a href="https://reflectionpark.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reflection Park</a> , the first all-natural burial ground in Montgomery County, Maryland. This is just the beginning. Our vision is to bring Wind Phones to parks, gardens, and natural spaces across the country, creating accessible spaces for reflection and healing wherever people need them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How your support helps:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cover the design and production of this first Wind Phone, each carefully crafted in Rockville, MD by <a href="https://bluestonewoodwork.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bluestone Woodwork</a> , a custom woodworking company.
</li>
<li>Fund startup costs so we can expand the project to other communities.
</li>
<li>Support the illustration and production of a children’s book on grief, helping young readers understand and process loss in a gentle way.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Initial goal: </strong>
</div>
<div>$2,500. This will be enough to make our first Wind Phone a reality and kick off the project nationwide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring this vision to life. Your support will create a space where people can remember, reflect, and heal – and help the Little Wind Phone Project grow to touch lives across the country. Please consider giving and sharing this campaign.
