My name is Jill, and I am a busy mom of five, a widow, a storyteller, a full-time professional writer, a part-time dream writer, and a dedicated cheerleader for all the people at all the things. I am also the co-founder and Vice President of Two Small Coins. I am an active member of our local Never-Alone Widows community, as well as the Proverbs 31 COMPEL writers’ group. In my free time, I love to read or spend time with friends and loved ones. I have always had a heart to serve others, and as I learn more and more along this widow journey, I want to do everything I can to help others along the way, providing resources to lighten the everyday burdens as much as I can. My favorite thing in the world is to dive into a story- whether it is light and fun or dark and heavy- and watch to see the ways I can make an impact. My deepest desire is to bring hope through my widow story, as well as the ways God showed up in those chapters, on my blog, redballoons.blog. I love to listen to others’ stories as well. I can’t wait to meet you and hear more of yours!
Our Story
two moms, two widows, two friends
Erin and Jill became friends after the sudden and tragic loss of their husbands.
What they soon discovered was how lonely, isolating and hard it was to be thrown into a life of grief while still raising children who were also grieving without resources to support them.
They began this ministry as a way to build community and help other widows and widowers on their journey toward wholeness and healing.
What We Do
Two Small Coins is a non-profit ministry that was started by two women brought together by widowhood.
Both navigating grief while raising young children.
God began to move in their hearts and two small coins was born.
Our main goal is to provide support and encouragement to fellow widows and to deliver a glimmer of hope during the darkest days.
While every day of widowhood brings challenges, there are certain days where grief feels just a little heavier and takes up just a little more space in the heart and mind.
Through our holiday Hope Stockings and other Tokens of Hope, we want the widowed to know that they are not alone and help them feel supported, seen and dare we say...
