In 2023, more than 12,777 adolescents between the age of 15–19 years passed away from accidents, homicide, and suicide.


Child and adolescent deaths in the U.S. jumped 20% from 2019 to 2021, the largest rise in over 50 years.
But, what about their families?
Our Goal
At The Wishbone Project, we are dedicated to supporting families who have lost children by offering comfort, care, and resources during an incredibly difficult time. Our mission is to honor their children, remind families that they are not alone, and provide hope for the brighter days ahead. Our goal is not only to support families during the initial period of loss, but also in the time afterward, when grieving parents are often forgotten.
