HONORING

Ms. Kali Glynn Breisch, by giving to the people of Thailand and especially Khao Lak.....Ms. Kali Breisch, age 15, was hit by the tsunami while vacationing with her family at Khao Lak, Thailand on 26 December 2004. She was with her brother, sister, mother and father, who are re-united, but Kali is gone.

A fund has been established by Breisch family and friends to honor Kali. The funds will be applied to the rebuilding of Thai lives and infrastructure... especially the people of Khao Lak who so generously and selflessly gave to Dr. Breisch, his wife Dr. Sally Nelson, and his daughter Shonti, as they searched for Kali. In such a way, we hope that greater good will come from this tragic loss.

We invite you to participate in this humanitarian undertaking by clicking the "Give" button and donating or pledging an amount comfortable for you.

Drowning Support Network

Flash floods. Tsunamis. Rivers. Oceans. The force of moving water is powerful, majestic sometimes, and also potentially deadly. Lakes. Ponds. Swimming pools and spas. Even still water offers a hidden hazard. It only takes 30-seconds for a child to drown. And contrary to what people think, there is usually no cry for help. Drowning is a silent killer...

The Drowning Support Network is a PEER GRIEF SUPPORT group for people who have lost loved ones in drownings or other aquatic accidents, including when no physical remains have been recovered, or the recovery process has been lengthy and difficult.
