Our GEMS are proof that being a member of the W Connection matters!*

When our members are ready to “graduate” from needing support to giving support, they have the unique power to Grow, Empower and Make a Difference to the next set of new widows walking through our doors!

Our GEMS personify our mission. 

Your compassion, wisdom and grace are vital to our sustainability.  

When you Become A GEM, your W Connection membership continues free of charge. There are two ways to Become A GEM:

For our W Members who are grateful for the wisdom and inspiration they received from being part of the W Connection and wish to volunteer their time (for as few as 5 hours/month or more).

Become a GEM Volunteer

For our W Supporters and W Members who know our work matters and choose to donate (for as little as $5/month or more).  Your support allows us to continue our mission and vision.
