So what is a Tomauro® Kit?

Zachary Mauro Crawford was born in 1993 with a malignant rhabdoid tumor, a rare but aggressive and often fatal pediatric cancer. At eight weeks he began chemotherapy and underwent surgery. Zachary lost his battle for life on July 13th, 1993. He was five months old.

Throughout his brief life, Zachary’s spirit encompassed hope and wonderment. He seemed to be the only one who did not know he was sick. He was a very happy, beautiful little guy, a baby with a peaceful old soul. Zachary's life inspired his family to establish a fund in his name at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, to celebrate his life, help in the fight against childhood cancer and lend support for other families facing a similar journey. They went on to start a company to provide comfort items for other bereaved families, Hoping Skills Company.

Zachary’s life, his death and his love inspired the Tomauro® Kit, which is a creative, art-focused gift bundle for bereaved children. The Tomauro® Kit is specially designed to comfort a child, help him express his sorrow, and ease him on his own  healing journey towards peace and acceptance.

"To Mauro", (tomorrow), practical, meaningful and comforting gift packs inspired by the life and death of a beautiful child. Ordering information below.
 

                                      

 


Children's sympathy gifts

So a good friend has recently become bereaved. You have expressed your sympathy to them and lent support and help as best you can. But where are their children? Probably alone in their bedrooms, crying.  Kids are often the "forgotten mourners" in a household stricken by a tragic death. Why? There are a few possible reasons:

  • Their needs are honestly overlooked in the emotional turmoil.
     
  • Adults think that by not confronting the issue head-on, they somehow shield children from the pain (does not work).
     
  • Many adults think children don't understand death, and therefore aren't affected as deeply by it. They don't know how to deal with it, so they just leave the kids alone.

Children need as much comfort and support in times of bereavement as adults do. For more information on how to talk with children about death and how best to help them grieve, refer to our page: Help The Kids.
