A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Foundation
When grief is heavy, we help carry the weight.
The Dorothy S. Wright Foundation assists families who have lost an adolescent child, age 25 or younger, by helping cover unpaid funeral expenses when there is no insurance — or not enough of it.
Compassionate Relief
We come alongside grieving families and help with unpaid funeral expenses so they can grieve, not negotiate.
Clear Eligibility
For families of children 25 or younger, with no insurance or underinsurance, whose funeral bill remains unpaid.
Lasting Memory
Every child we honor is remembered on our memorial page — their light kept burning by community.
Our Founder
In loving memory of Dorothy S. Wright
The foundation was born out of a mother's love and a community's ache. Dorothy believed that no family should have to choose between honoring a child and surviving the bill that follows. Today, her name carries that promise forward — meeting families in their most fragile moments with dignity, respect, and tangible help.
"A child should never be laid to rest under the shadow of a bill."
