Summary

Jon Reider, who lost his mother at age three, founded Myra’s Kids nine years ago to give grieving children ages six to seventeen a free, volunteer-run community where they can heal, remember, and connect. Through camps, memory boards, and a moving lantern ceremony, kids find solace and belonging. Jessica Sinyor’s family found lifeline in the program after her husband’s death, with her daughter saying it was comforting to be among others who understood. Reider, recently honored with the King Charles Coronation Medal, says his mother would be proud — creating a second family for kids who need it most, ensuring no child faces loss alone.
