The Impact of Monthly Giving
January 24, 2025
At Judi’s House, every act of generosity creates a ripple effect, bringing hope and healing to grieving children and families. Among the many ways to support our mission, one stands out for its profound and lasting impact: joining “The Journey,” our monthly giving program.
With the average cost of mental health counseling ranging anywhere from between $65 and $250 per session1, it would be nearly impossible for many Coloradans to afford weekly counseling services for their entire family to address one of life’s most complex issues—grief.
According to the 2024 Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model2 (CBEM), 1 in 12 children will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18 – and research shows that these bereaved children are at an increased risk of disrupted development. Unaddressed childhood grief and trauma can lead to short- and long-term difficulties including decreased academic performance, mental health issues and early mortality. Timely support introduced at critical junction’s aids in healthy development.
No grief is the same, but with the services provided at Judi’s House, many people find connection, comfort and healing to help cope with the loss of their special person. When you support Judi’s House, you support the mental and emotional wellbeing of children and families across Colorado. One of the best ways to support our mission is through recurring gifts.
Monthly giving isn’t just a donation—it’s an investment in the lives of those who need it most. By making a recurring gift, you ensure that resources are available to provide care, support, and guidance to families navigating the challenges of grief.
Here’s why monthly giving is so powerful:
- Sustained Support: Grieving children and families rely on consistent services. Your monthly commitment ensures that our programs remain stable and accessible year-round.
- Budget-Friendly Generosity: By spreading your giving across the year, you can make a significant impact without a large one-time contribution. For example, a gift of $25 per month adds up to $300 over the course of a year.
- Immediate Impact: Monthly gifts allow us to plan ahead, allocate resources effectively, and respond promptly to the evolving needs of the community
Becoming a monthly donor is easy – just visit our website. Simply click the “Donate” button and select for your donation to be made monthly and your gift will come directly out of your account every month, making it easier to account for in your personal budget.
