Title
For the Love of Christi (FTLOC) Grief Support Program
Description
Our History
On October 26, 1985, a hit-and-run drunken driver killed 20-year old University of Texas student Christi Lanahan. Christi’s parents, Susan and Don Cox, and their son, Sean, found little affordable support available to help them in their grief. The Cox family needed help daily and realized that there were many others who also needed help. In October 1987 they established For the Love of Christi.
Our Community
Our members include a wide cross-section of all ethnic, economic and social groups, as well as individuals with a range of disabilities. We serve children, teens and adults, businesses, criminal justice agencies, civic and service organizations, schools, universities, churches and other community groups.
The Christi Center
Most of our meetings and programs take place at the Christi Center, located at 2306 Hancock Drive in Central Austin. We have made this renovated house into a warm and nurturing home, an ample space filled with comfortable furniture and welcoming staff and volunteers. From the front porch swing to the children’s art studio, the Christi Center offers a safe haven for our community.
