A Nonprofit Initiative of Forget Me Not
NBK
Nurturing Broken Kingdoms
Because no one should have to walk through grief alone.
Our Mission & Vision
NBK — Nurturing Broken Kingdoms — is the nonprofit arm of Forget Me Not, founded in loving memory of Larry “Breva” Lynch Jr. NBK exists to create healing-centered spaces and programs that help individuals, families, and communities navigate grief, loss, and life's hardest transitions.
We believe that grief is not something to overcome alone — it is a shared human experience that calls for community, compassion, and care. Through art, conversation, mentorship, and safe spaces, we walk alongside people on their journey from brokenness toward restoration.
Our vision is a Baltimore where every person experiencing loss has access to healing resources, supportive community, and a path forward — regardless of their background or circumstances.
“From brokenness to restoration — together.”
