Providing vital aid and emotional support to those in need
Inspired by our own journey through deep loss, our mission is to provide vital essentials, free consulting, and compassionate support to families facing grief and life crises. We walk directly alongside households as they navigate their darkest days—offering not only practical relief for everyday burdens, but the emotional care needed to bridge the gap between loss and healing.comfort and encouragement to families during their most trying times.

Our Story & Ti’Rya’s Legacy
The Parish Family Foundation was born out of the deepest loss our household has ever faced—the passing of our third child, Ti’Rya, who would be turning four years old this year. The depth of her absence instantly shattered our normal home dynamics. Overnight, even the simplest daily tasks felt impossible to carry. Yet, we were faced with the harsh reality that the world around us did not pause—the bills still came, our other children still needed parenting, and everyday responsibilities continued to demand our attention while our hearts were completely broken.
During those incredibly heavy days, we were blessed to have a strong family support system surrounding us. Their love,care, and presence helped pull us out of a place that had become very dark. Through that experience, a profound truth became clear to us: so many families will share this exact same devastating pain, but they do not have the strong support system we were blessed with to help carry them through. That realization is precisely why this foundation was born.
Grief changes everything, but we chose not to let heartbreak have the final word. Transforming our grief into active purpose became our personal path toward healing. By standing beside other families facing unimaginable hardship, we keep Ti’Rya’s spirit alive in every life we touch, every meal we provide, and every hand we extend.
We created The Parish Family Foundation so that no family has to walk through crisis or grief alone. We aim to be the bridge and the support system for those who feel isolated when life feels unbearable, offering:
Welcome to The Living Room.
Here, we hold space for the raw, real-world experiences that shape our homes and communities. Grief alters everything in its path, but it doesn't have to be walked through in isolation. In this space, we explore how families navigate loss, carry their memories with purpose, and slowly, gently learn how to make room for living again.
This Thanksgiving, The Parish Family Foundation is partnering with Mesa school counselors to support 100 nominated low-income families navigating grief. Students were hand-picked to receive a complete meal basket with a frozen turkey and traditional canned/boxed sides.
