THE WID BEHIND THE VID
Leslie HARTEr BERG
I’m Leslie. I’m a writer, speaker, video producer, and the creator of Vids for Wids. When my husband died suddenly in 2019 from a freak brain aneurism and stroke, the only people I actually wanted to talk to were other widows who also felt like a half person. Vids for Wids is a place for solidarity, for all those wondering what they “should” be doing after their world blows up, and for widows, like myself, embracing both the terrible and amazing of life.
Make a donation.
Obviously it costs money to produce video and animation content, but we want these resources to always be free to this niche grieving community. That's where you come in! Whether you give once or on an on-going basis, donations help fund the production team (think "Lights, Camera, Action"), any travel or speaking costs for experts, and help widows in need. Make a vid/help a wid!
For those donating: We are in the process of gaining our tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and have been assured by our legal specialist that we can expect to gain our 501(c)(3) status retroactive to the date of incorporation. You may take a tax deduction for your contribution to the full extent allowed by law. We will notify you if the IRS does not grant us retroactive tax-exempt status.”
