Love Gifts
A love gift is a donation to honor our child who has died or a memorial for a relative or friend.  There are no dues or fess to belong to TCF. Any funds received are used to print and mail the newsletter and to purchase books and tapes for our libraries.

These gifts are frequently given on the anniversary dates or in lieu of flowers when someone has died. It is tax deductible. We thank the donors for their kind generosity, love and sharing.

Newsletters are mailed free to TCF members.  Lending books from our library is free to TCF members. There is no charge for attending meetings. We solely depend on your contributions.
