About Us

The Legacy Project was born to help protect the legacy of mothers lost by school-aged girls up through young adulthood. We see that the life of a mom should never, ever be forgotten, discounted or moved on from. The woman who loved her daughter more than life itself deserves to live on. Forever.

Our trained mentors and companions will walk along side motherless girls and young women of the Quad Cities. They will assist them in cultivating a lasting legacy while they navigate the journey of mother loss.

The Legacy Project is a gift to every motherless girl and young woman of the Quad Cities – and her mother. While we can’t make a grieving girl’s mom breathe again, we can keep her legacy alive.

The Kindness Rocks Project

Wishing all moms out there the happiest Mother’s Day❤️
For those of us who have lost our Mother’s, this day can seem quite sad rather than celebratory as it is a day that reminds us of our greatest loss. Know that you are not alone🙏🏻 that there are many of us walking around right beside you feeling the same way❤️
A Poem for you ...
“Miss me but let me go”
Author Unknown:
When I come to the end of the day and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long.
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the Makers plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely or sick at heart...
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds- Miss me but let me go. #thekindnessrocksproject ... See more
