CONNECTION IS PREVENTION:
Why Your Contribution Restores Hope
​
For many families navigating trauma, recovery, or high stress, the holidays can be the hardest time of the year.
The pressure and isolation often intensify the cycles we are all trying to break.​
Your contribution is more than just a donation—
it's a trauma-informed moment of comfort.
Your gift provides a safe reminder that they are seen, supported, and not alone this holiday season.
Your generosity directly fuels our mission:
All donated comfort items will be shared with families in recovery at our special event:
Smashing Cycles: A Community Talk for Healing Through the Holidays
on November 25th.
