Event seeks to help mothers who have lost children
The Hello Again Family Fest, to be held April 27 at Darlington High School’s football stadium from 5-9 p.m., seeks to “help moms and families who have experienced the loss of a child, recent or long ago, create beautiful new memories together.”
The event, according to Hello Again founder LaDominique McFarland, will feature international speaker Kate Fitzsimons of Australia, female gospel recording group Endure and spoken-word artist TheBabyJumper.
It will include praise and worship teams, bounce houses, prayer, face painting, Christian comedy, video game trucks and more, according to McFarland.
Admission is free.
“If you’ve lost a child, we want to give you hope,” McFarland says. “Not only the parents but the siblings as well. Our main focus … is the heart of the sibling and restoration of the family as a whole.”
For information about donating, or to be a vendor at the event, contact McFarland at 843-252-0343.
Hello Again began as a blog created by McFarland after losing her sons in 2016 to a rip current while the family was visiting Myrtle Beach. It has grown into a grief-support group, McFarland said.
