Grief and gratitude': In the face of tragedy, a community steps up
Brattleboro Reformer
This week, Groundworks Collaborative resumed its role in providing for some of the most vulnerable members of the community.
Four days after the death of Leah Rosin-Pritchard, who was killed by a resident of Morningside Shelter on the morning of April 3, Josh Davis, Groundwork’s executive director, announced the organization was taking a three-week pause.
“It is clear that our entire staff needs a pause in order to come together to grieve, work together toward healing, and figure out our way forward,” stated Davis in a news release.
During the past three weeks, a number of community organizations stepped in to fill the gap, led by Dr. Kathleen McGraw, the chief medical officer at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
