For many years, Lisa LaRose has been a beloved first-grade teacher in the Scituate community, touching the lives of countless children and families with kindness, patience, and dedication. Now, Lisa and her family are facing an unimaginable heartbreak following the tragic loss of Lisa’s son, Douglas. So many of us have wondered what we can possibly do to help during such a devastating time. While there are no words that can ease this kind of loss, we can come together as a community to surround Lisa and her family with love and help lessen some of the practical and financial burdens they may face in the weeks and months ahead.

Funds raised will help support the family with funeral and memorial expenses, time away from work, meals, household needs, and other unexpected expenses as they grieve and begin to navigate life after this tremendous loss. For years, Lisa LaRose has cared for, encouraged, and loved generations of Scituate’s children. Now it is our turn to care for her. Every donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping the family in your thoughts is another meaningful way to show your support. Please join us in wrapping Lisa LaRose and her family in the love and strength of the community she has given so much to.
