To provide a safe space for peers who have experienced the loss of a parent. Helping to ensure a child’s grief is not alone.
David’s Daughter Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space for children and peers who have experienced the loss of a parent.
While grief counseling is available through faith-based organizations, schools, and private entities, these resources often lack the emotional connection that grieving children truly need. Without that shared understanding, many children shut down emotionally, bottling up their grief and suppressing their feelings — which can lead to long-term mental and emotional struggles.
David’s Daughter Inc. bridges this gap by fostering peer support, shared experiences, and compassionate connection, helping children process their grief in a healthy and meaningful way.
In September 2019, Megan Castle started her day with her father, David, as they prepared for a long day of volleyball tournaments. That evening, after dropping Megan off, David told her, “I’ll see you in the morning.” Sadly, that morning never came. That night, David suffered a fatal heart attack.
In March 2020, Megan’s grief had compounded, bringing waves of mixed emotions and unexplained anxiety. Though she was surrounded by family and friends, Megan felt isolated — no one seemed to truly understand the pain she was carrying. She bottled up her emotions, suppressing her grief in silence.
In that moment of deep reflection, Megan made a powerful decision: to create David’s Daughter, a space where children navigating the loss of a parent could find support, understanding, and hope. Through this organization, Megan turned her pain into purpose, ensuring that no child would feel as alone as she once did.
To create a safe space for children and young people globally who have experienced the loss of a parent. Creating peer to peer space, workshops, neighboring support throughout local schools and communities.
