Founded in 2014, Raise for Rowyn is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting families who have lost a child with both funeral costs and emotional support.

“Nearly 50 of those families are from Lewis County. We continue to work every day to ensure we will be there for the next family that needs our support,” said Raise for Rowyn Executive Director Fionna Velazquez in a news release.
