Micah Nathan DeWard of Grand Rapids, MI, died Sunday, July 26, 2026. He was 21.

This donation page is designed to help young people learn the art and craft of sewing through My Brother's Workshop (MBW)
on St. Thomas.

Micah was passionate about craftsmanship in sewing.

The sewing program is designed to provide both vocational training and therapeutic benefits, catering to the diverse needs of our community. The program aims to foster personal growth, enhance employability, and promote mental well-being by integrating practical skills with creative expression. Through the support of our private and corporate donors, MBW's holistic program can provide education, mentoring, counseling, on-the-job training, and job placement to young men and women in the USVI. With your generosity, we will continue to offer each trainee in our program individualized vocational training along with our wrap-around services. On average, a trainee in our program spends 9-12 months at MBW with an individualized path of training. Your support will help young men and women in the USVI find purpose and passion and honor the memory and legacy of Micah DeWard.
