Gilda's Club Grand Rapids - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Matt R.

If you or someone in your life is going through cancer and you are looking for support, this is where I would go. Amazing people work here. It is a safe space where you can find a community of folks that understand exactly what you are going through and offer empathy, compassion, and a listening ear without judgment. This place and the people there have made one of the hardest times in my life a little more bearable and have given me a place to process everything that has, is, and could happen. I cannot say enough positive things about Gilda's club.

Great place! Anyone going through cancer or knowing someone, Grief, death of loved ones. Great support groups! They care about the people who attend! It’s a wonderful experience and well worth trying. They have so many other programs as well! If you have thought about it try it out! You will live it!!

Warm, welcoming, and friendly. A place you wish you didn't need to be, but glad it exists. Grand Rapids is so lucky to have this resource available. When I arrived, the parking was very easy and there was signage pointing me where to go. Upon entering the building, someone was at a desk ready to greet me and show me where to go. I attended the new member grief support meeting. I signed up for my grief support group that night and was able to stay for dinner (free!) and grief group. There are so many resources available - books, yoga, art therapy, music therapy, etc. It is incredible. I look forward to attending more events.

This place offers respite for those enduring a tumultuous period in their life. I cannot stress how invaluable this resource is. I feel blessed to have it so close to home. I'm grateful for my friend for recommending this place. My only regret is not coming sooner.

I came here for the first time tonight, despite feeling very overwhelmed by the idea of group support. I was scared to "wear my heart on my sleeve" and potentionally cry in front of a room full of strangers. That I did, but I've never felt so comfortable doing so. If you need a place to vent, sit quietly, or be invited to share amongst a group of people who empathize with what you're going through, go to Gilda's. I can't wait to return next week.

Such a wonderful thing they do. Unfortunately, I had never even heard of it until I lost my daughter.
I've been there almost every week since. Good people. Great service they provide.
Gilda's is always a safe place. My home away from home.

Everyone is so kind and support groups are so helpful! They have groups for cancer patients, cancer loss and perinatal loss.

Gilda’s Club has been an incredible place for me as I navigate a grief journey. I attend the young adults grief support group, and have been a member for about a year and a half now. Gilda’s is one of those places that I hate that I need it, yet so incredibly grateful to have found it. In addition to support group, I’ve attended weekly dinners, and other classes on a variety of topics related to grief.
I can’t say enough about this incredible place. Forever grateful to have this resource so close to home.
