ANAK KO offers grief relief to bereaving families for their childrenβs memories
ANAK KO aims to keep bereaving familiesβ childrenβs memories alive, through funding of care packages, memorial markers and endowing scholarships in memory of children who they outlived, with the help of generous patrons from all over the world
When we lose a loved one, we arenβt always prepared, financially or emotionally. ANAK KO offers a support system for those who grieve their children and pets, through emotional and financial assistance and empowering families to honor them. This nonprofit organization was founded to bless families during their grief!
Your contribution will help fund bereaving families with 1) CARE packages (Community Advocates Render Empathy), 2) memorial markers and 3) Marigold Scholarship. Thank you for donating!

ANAK KO has held its 1st few Board-of-Directors (AKO BOD) quarterly meetings to induct new officers and discuss fundraising. Aside from memorial markers and scholarships, the AKO BOD also decided to add care packages for grieving parents, like some of us foundersππ§ΊThe Board also had a consensus that AKO not only offers financial support, but also emotional support, as well. Now we have a CARE acronym for CARE packages + CHRISTmas CARE-oling CARE-oke to cheer up bereaving families: Community Advocates Render Empathy
