Creating Hope. Restoring Lives.
A Community of Connection, Compassion, and Care
Born from Loss. Built for Healing.
Following the loss of her husband, Chris, in 2022, Stephanie Kaeberlein felt called to create something meaningful from an experience that had forever changed her family.
What began as a personal journey has grown into Liberty Oaks, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by sudden loss, particularly suicide.
Today, Liberty Oaks is creating opportunities for connection, education, restorative experiences, and compassionate support...reminding people that hope can still be found, even in life's most difficult seasons.
Connect. Heal. Grow. Thrive.
Healing is rarely a straight line, but no one should have to walk it alone.
At Liberty Oaks, we believe healing unfolds over time through meaningful relationships, compassionate support, opportunities for personal growth, and renewed purpose. Every individual and family arrives with a different story, yet each is invited to take the next step on a journey toward hope.
Connect. Heal. Grow. Thrive. isn't simply our tagline. It serves as the pathway that shapes our programs, retreats, gatherings, and relationships. It also guides the many ways volunteers, partners, and donors walk alongside those we serve, helping individuals and families move forward with hope.
Connect
Meaningful healing begins with connection. Through welcoming relationships, gatherings, and shared experiences, individuals discover they don't have to walk this journey alone.
Heal
As trust grows, healing begins. With compassionate support, restorative experiences, and practical care, hope begins to replace isolation as healing takes root.
Grow
Healing opens the door to growth. Individuals gain confidence, discover new strengths, deepen relationships, and begin envisioning a hopeful future.
Thrive
Thriving doesn't mean forgetting the past — it means living with renewed purpose because of it. Individuals and families find joy again, strengthen their communities, and become a source of hope for others walking a similar path.
Because Grief Doesn't Follow a Timeline
The days and weeks following a loss often bring an outpouring of support. Yet for many individuals and families, the journey through grief continues long after the meals, cards, and phone calls stop. Liberty Oaks exists to walk alongside people in the months and years that follow by providing compassionate support, comfort items, financial assistance when needed, and opportunities for connection, healing, growth, and hope.
Every donation, volunteer, sponsor, ambassador, and community partner helps make this mission possible.
