Your wellbeing is our priority during this global crisis.

WE’RE HERE FOR YOU 

COVID-19 has presented all of us with an incredible challenge.  Beyond the already worrisome threat of illness, there’s the financial disruption that we’re all feeling.  Jobs have been changed dramatically or lost outright.  Businesses have shuttered.  Services have slowed.    

If that were troubling enough, this pandemic has been much tougher on the elderly and frail, especially when a loss of a spouse is experienced.  

That’s why we want you to know that you’re not alone. 

Wings for Widows is here to support you through the challenges ahead.  Our volunteers and team of financial coaches are available to help.  If you have lost a spouse during the pandemic, there is much work ahead to do.  And nobody is more experienced to help you than our dedicated team members. 

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT 

“First things first – everyone here at Wings for Widows is wishing you the very best of health and safety at this difficult time. 

Beyond the threat of illness, this pandemic is creating incredible emotional strain and financial worry.  We understand how frightening and uncertain life seems right now as our country takes unprecedented action to respond.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Have your business hours changed?
Hours for our services remain unchanged.  Our staff and coaches are here and available when you need them.

When will in-person appointments be available again?
Unfortunately, it is not likely we will ever return to in-person coaching again.  We have found that we can create just as successful outcomes virtually as in person, and at least for now, it is the safer alternative.
