Our Mission is to help parents in the healing process
after suffering the loss of a child and siblings that lose a brother or sister.
- The Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Foundation offers local grief counseling at Bobby’s Place to parents the suffer the loss of a child. We will host bi-monthly meetings and we are currently putting groups together, overseen by a licensed grief counselor. Meetings will take place on weekday evenings.
- Our Sibling Support Groups are designed for young people, to assist them in dealing with the grief, pain and anguish associated with the loss of a brother or sister. The number of groups and ages for the groups will range depending on the need and the demand. All groups will be facilitated by a licensed grief counselor.
- Our Dr. of Psychology, Doctor Tina DiCicco Reynolds can meet with individuals that need personal attention at Bobby’s Place, her office in Pembroke Pines or talk by phone. People that suffer a loss of a child or sibling can also contact us by email ANYTIME. If you are not within driving distance, email us your phone number or call and we will call you!
- We offer a beautiful wall mount portrait (up to 20″ x 24″) to a parent/guardian who has lost their child. It includes enlargement, enhancement, canvas stretching, framing and delivery of the picture of your choice!
Currently we are offering our portrait services primarily in Miami-Dade, Broward & Palm Beach County FL but recently have expanded to the entire United States (outside FL requires board approval). Each portrait is printed on canvas and professionally framed and delivered. - We have established The Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Scholarship fund. The scholarship is at Palm Beach State College for Criminal Justice students that have the same dream Bobby had – to be a Police, a Sheriff to be exact.
- Our foundation helps other similar causes and foundations with financial support when possible and if they meet our criteria.
Our Long Term Vision
Bobby’s Place serves the community well. It is a place where families can go and start the healing process after suffering the terrible tragedy of losing a child. It is a safe haven for parents to go and meet our grief counselors and other parents traveling the same road.
Bobby’s Dad, Bob Resciniti has a vision for The Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Foundation. Imagine if you will, a place where families can go to share their grief with others that carry the same pain and anguish. Our plan is to have 10 – 15 acres of land with beautiful trees, plants, gazebo’s, a chapel, Angel pavers leading to Angel benches throughout the decorated gardens. We want a place where people can meet, fellowship and bring hurting families together to help mend their broken hearts. There is such a need for a “place to heal” for parents that lose a child or a sibling that loses a brother or sister. Grief comes in many shapes and sizes…there are no rules to grief as everyone heals differently. The Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Foundation is dedicated bringing a small amount of peace, hope and happiness to people with a broken heart.
Every hour of every day, another child leaves this world too soon, leaving behind – broken hearts and shattered dreams.
Together, we WILL make a difference!
