Supporting the Widowed Community in Central Florida

Imagine the drastic shift from being a soccer mom and wife to becoming a widow overnight at the age of 35. This heart-wrenching reality is the inspiration behind the Modern Widows Club, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the needs of widows—a severely underserved and often overlooked population that has been growing, especially in the wake of the pandemic.
