I Care CDC Response to Current Events

America and our communities are overtaken with grief, trauma and pain.

We want to acknowledge the systemic racism and injustice that runs about our society seeking to devour.

You are Never Alone. We’re in this together. You Matter to Us!

Supporting a bereaved and/or grieving child, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin and other love-ones involves compassion, warmth and cultural sensitivity. It promotes active listening and an understanding of distinct experiences while confronting and challenging those systems that oppress and devalue individuals and families of color.

Healing comes by having a heard voice and a space to share that voice. We may not have the answers, but we hope to create a supportive space for healing.

We stand with every grieving person who is facing injustice and racial prejudices in our communities. We stand with every person who is reminded of the racial inequalities and injustices during the Civil Rights Movement. We extend our condolences and stand with every person who grieves the loss and death of a love-one.

Prayerfully,

I Care Community Development Corporation
