Hello everyone!

My name is Genevieve and almost two years ago my dad died. He drowned saving two boys struggling in Lake Michigan. Once he put them on a boat to safety, he was caught in a riptide.

I searched so hard for a good resource for teens. I'm fifteen now, but at that time I couldn't find a good online resource for people specifically my age, and people in a similar situation (i.e. lost a parent). Since then, I’ve been trying to start up this website called SLAP’D, which stands for “Surviving Life After A Parent Dies.” It’s basically an online community for teens who have lost a parent. We are close to launching it, but it would be so awesome if anyone would check it out and play around with it, and I've been working really hard on it for around two years. So, I’d love to hear what you think!

The link is www.slapd.com. We just set up a twitter: https://twitter.com/slapd_teen and an instagram, http://instagram.com/SLAPDNONPROFIT.
