Kara offers emotional support and information to adults, teenagers and children who are grieving a death or coping with a life-threatening illness.
Change and loss are natural in the cycle of life. We experience grief and emotional distress with any significant loss. Support from those with experience in dealing with personal loss can help ease the pain and promote healing. Kara provides a safe place for those who are grieving, or anticipating another’s or their own death, to express and normalize their feelings.
Kara is a nonprofit organization serving the San Francisco Bay Area since 1976. Our services are provided primarily by volunteers who have experience in healing from personal loss. With the aid of professional staff and ongoing training, Kara’s volunteers facilitate others’ journeys during life-threatening illness and bereavement. There is no charge for Kara’s services. We are supported primarily by tax-deductible donations from individuals, corporations and foundations.
