The pressure and isolation often intensify the cycles we are all trying to break.​

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.
