Sponsor a Book. Give a Family Something to Hold Onto.
Help place From Diagnosis to Goodbye into the hands of individuals and families facing serious illness, caregiving, hospice, grief, and loss.
When a family receives a life-changing diagnosis, there are medical appointments, difficult conversations, financial pressures, caregiving responsibilities, and questions no one feels prepared to answer.
Sometimes what they need is something they can take home, open when they’re ready, and return to when the next difficult question comes.
Through the Sponsor a Book program, your charitable gift to Begin Again Living Ministries helps provide copies of From Diagnosis to Goodbye to individuals and families who may benefit from them — at no cost to the recipient.
One gift can put hope into someone’s hands.
Grief doesn’t check a family’s bank account before it arrives.
Families facing terminal illness and loss may already be managing medical expenses, reduced income, caregiving costs, funeral expenses, and countless unexpected needs. Purchasing a grief or end-of-life resource may simply not be a priority they can afford.
You can help change that. Begin Again Living Ministries uses Sponsor a Book contributions to help place From Diagnosis to Goodbye resources with individuals and families navigating serious illness, hospice, caregiving, grief, and bereavement.
Simple, transparent, and directly for the family.

Although Begin Again Living Ministries is a faith-based ministry, From Diagnosis to Goodbye is designed to provide compassionate, practical support for individuals and families from many backgrounds.
Sponsor grief-support resources for the community you serve.
Businesses, hospices, healthcare organizations, funeral homes, churches, foundations, and community organizations can support the Sponsor a Book program.
Organizational sponsorship can help BALM place resources with individuals and families who otherwise might not have access to them.
This is a charitable sponsorship through Begin Again Living Ministries. The sponsoring organization does not purchase or receive books for its own use through this program.
Answers before you give.
Someone you may never meet could be helped by your gift.
You may never know the family who opens the book.
You may never sit beside them in the hospital.
You may never hear the difficult conversations happening around their kitchen table.
But your generosity can still enter that room.
Sponsor a book. Help a family feel a little less alone on the journey from diagnosis to goodbye.
