Guidance from the Heart:
A Network of Compassionate Coaches

Our volunteer coaches hail from around the country and are eager to help you. They have one goal: to provide you with personalized advice and guidance to help you manage the overwhelming administrative, financial, and practical matters of loss.

97% Improved Their Financial Wellness When Working With a Coach

It costs nothing to work with our volunteer coaches. So, why wouldn't you? Thousands have. They've regained confidence, stability, and peace of mind.

If you are overwhelmed, this is no time to go it alone. Professional advice and guidance can help you avoid costly mistakes and legal missteps. Request your coach today to receive at least four hours of professional assistance at no cost to you during safe, judgment-free virtual sessions. To learn more about the areas your coach can address with you, please visit here.

What You Can Expect

During your initial four hours of no-cost sessions, your coach will focus on understanding your situation and helping you navigate your most pressing concerns. You'll gain clarity, reduce stress, and feel more confident making decisions about your future. See what's possible here.

When your engagement concludes, you and your coach will discuss next steps together — whether that's additional no-cost assistance, transitioning to professional services, or wrapping up. There's no selling, no pressure, and no obligation. The choice is always yours.

Everyone deserves professional guidance during this difficult time — and that's exactly what Wings for Widows provides. Our volunteer coaches hold CFP® credentials, follow strict ethical standards, and keep everything completely confidential. You couldn't be in better hands. Take the first step and request your coach today.

‍

Complete Two Requirements

1. Before you request a coach, please complete the Financial Wellness Survey if you haven't already done so. This information will help you and your coach get off to a quick start. Complete the Wellness Survey here. We cannot match you with a coach until this is completed.

2. Also, please review and sign our Client Letter of Agreement if you haven't already done so. The agreement outlines the expectations for working with your coach. Complete the Client Agreement here. We cannot match you with a coach until this is completed.

We're Here to Help

If you're having trouble with the requirements or would like to learn more about our services before connecting with a coach, please meet with a member of our Customer Care team. Simply click here to schedule a date and time that works for you. We're happy to answer your questions and help you take the next step with confidence.

Get Free, Professional Assistance

Once you have completed the Financial Wellness Survey and the Client Letter of Agreement, you are ready to request your coach. Do not request a coach if you have not completed these items or are not ready to begin working with your coach immediately.

When you click the button below, you will receive an introductory email once a match has been made. This is generally done within a few minutes, but can take up to 24 hours. Please check your inbox (or your junk folder) for our emails. Your coach will reply by email, phone, or text to schedule your first meeting. Please respond to your coach. If you experience any issues, just let us know. We're here to help!
