Be the Gift of a Blessing

Sponsor the Dear Drew Book for Someone Who Needs It Most

From the Heart of a Mother

My name is Melissa Hull, and I know the kind of grief that shatters everything.
My son, Drew, was just four years old when he drowned in a tragic accident.

Since then, I’ve spent 25 years learning how to live with that grief — and how to grow something meaningful from it.

What I’ve discovered is this:
Grief doesn’t just take. It also teaches.

And now, I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into one deeply personal gift:

Dear Drew: Creating a Life Bigger Than Grief

Not just another book about loss — this is the book I wish someone had handed me when the silence of grief felt deafening.

It’s a tender conversation, a lifeline, and a guide toward peace, purpose, and even joy.

The Greater Than Grief Movement

Because no one should grieve alone.

I’ve launched the Greater Than Grief Movement to place Dear Drew directly into the hands of those in crisis:
NICUs, hospitals, grief centers, women’s shelters, mortuaries — the places where healing begins.

Our Goal:

Donate 5,000 books by August 15, 2025 — Drew’s birthday.

Together, we can help someone feel seen.
Together, we can give the gift of hope.

How You Can Be a Blessing

You can sponsor one book — or hundreds. Every single donation becomes a heart-to-heart moment with someone in pain.

3% Cover the Fee

All proceeds and donations will be given to NICUs, hospitals, grief centers, women’s shelters, and mortuaries across the USA.

Why Your Donation Matters

  • You're Giving Someone a Lifeline

    Grief can be isolating, especially in the early days. Your donation puts Dear Drew directly into the hands of someone who may be feeling lost, alone, and unsure of how to take the next step forward.

  • You’re Helping Others Feel Seen

    This book isn’t filled with clichés — it’s real, raw, and written from lived experience. You’re helping people feel validated in their pain and supported in their healing.

  • You’re Partnering in Purpose

    This isn’t about selling a book. It’s about creating impact. Every donation helps fulfill a mission to reach 5,000 people with a message of hope by August 15, 2025 — what would have been Drew’s birthday.

  • You’re Supporting Grief-Informed Healing

    Dear Drew is written by Melissa Hull — a certified grief specialist, trauma-informed coach, and mother who understands deep loss. This isn’t theory — it’s trusted guidance and genuine compassion.

  • You’re Giving Where the Need Is Greatest

    Books will be donated to NICUs, hospitals, shelters, mortuaries, and grief centers — places where people are facing the darkest days of their lives and need this message most.

  • You’re Creating a Legacy of Light

    Whether you donate one book or hundreds, your generosity becomes part of a greater legacy — one that turns unimaginable loss into a beacon of hope for others.

This Is Not About Selling a Book.

This is about delivering a blessing.
To the one person who doesn't even know what they need…
until this book finds its way into their hands.

From my heart to yours, thank you for helping me share Drew’s legacy.
