Take a Breath Scholarship

About the Take a Breath Scholarship

Who It’s For

This scholarship is designed especially for mothers and wives who are grieving—for those carrying the weight of loss and trying to find a little space to heal.

What It Does

Each month, one Take a Breath Scholarship is awarded to allow its recipient to do something she normally wouldn’t—something restorative, something joyful. It might be a massage, a small weekend away with her children, or another experience that offers comfort and relief during a difficult time.

Why This Matters

Grief is exhausting — emotionally, mentally, physically. The Take a Breath Scholarship is our way of saying: you are not alone. You deserve pauses. You deserve care. You deserve moments that lift you, even just for a little while.

Olivia's House is a grief and loss center for children and one of the non-profits Women's Network of York has supported
