President and Co-founder
W Connection
In 2009, Ellen Kamp and Dawn Nargi started the W Connection, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping widowed women cope with their bereavement and rebuild their lives. In addition to a strong network of emotional support, the W Connection offers information, training and resources to help women regain control of their lives so they can once again be healthy and productive. The W Connection has an Outreach and Peer Mentor program and a Widow’s Survival Kit. With the Marigold Ideas for Good Contest award, the organization plans to produce a video, featuring interviews with widows, to serve as a resource about the challenges facing widows and how the W Connection can help.
