“I always loved the idea of memorial trees instead of flowers, but I’ve always wondered where the money went and whether the trees actually got planted somewhere. When my younger brother died last year, the funeral home offered a tree service for him, but I wanted to make *sure* that his trees were planted. I found Trees for a Change online, and I was so happy to read that the trees would be planted in areas of need. Even better, I would be able to find the location of his trees and get growth progress pictures! I was picturing a wonderful family road trip to visit his trees in the future. I guess I wasn’t thinking clearly enough about the logistics of it all, but I was dismayed to read on the Find A Tree page that the actual location of the trees could not be provided, nor would pictures of the actual trees be provided. I am happy that my brother’s trees are out there, but I’m sad that I won’t be able to find them. Please make these disclaimers about the trees more prominent on your website so that other bereaved people like me don’t make the same mistake.”
