OneLegacy Donor Family Facebook Group Disclaimer Statement

Disclaimer and Terms of Use:

Welcome to the OneLegacy Donor Family Facebook Page. This page is administered by OneLegacy's Family Aftercare Department (periodically during business hours Monday – Friday, 8:30am to 5pm) for the purpose of providing a forum for OneLegacy Donor Family Members to connect with and support one another along their grief journey. Referrals for grief support groups, individual, couples or family counseling can be made by contacting Aftercare at 800-423-7220 or familycare@onelegacy.org or sending us a private message.

This group is set up as a Facebook "Secret" group, which means nonmembers cannot search for the group on Facebook or see who's in the group. Non-members cannot join without permission from us, cannot see what group members post, nor can they see that you are a member of the group from your Facebook group list.

If you would like to add additional family members or close friends of the donor who you feel would benefit from the group, please send your request via email to familycare@onelegacy.org and copy (cc) the person you are requesting that we add. The e-mail should also include the donors first and last name, the person’s name as it appears on Facebook who you would like to add to group and an acknowledgement that you are ok with adding them to the group. We will then e-mail them the disclaimer. After they agree to the disclaimer, we will invite them to join the group. NO add requests will be approved via Facebook request only.

Please adhere to the following terms of use when participating in conversation on this page. If you do not wish to abide by these terms, please exit the site and remove yourself from the group list:
