Annie’s Hope
Providing comprehensive support for children, teens & their families who are grieving the death of someone significant.
Annie’s Hope reaches more than 2,500 broken-hearted kids and their families each year, yet many more still struggle with mental and physical health challenges because they are unable to access grief support services. For more than 16 years, Annie’s Hope has operated solely through the generosity of the St. Louis community. Compassionate individuals, corporations, private foundations and community organizations have partnered with Annie’s Hope because they understand that kids’ grief matters.
