The room was filled with warmth and hope because of you. As parents/caregivers, being in community with friends and supporters reminded us that we are part of a collective that cares. We are not alone, and your presence was re-energizing.

One moment that will stay with me came during the fireside chat, when Tara addressed her son, Travis, and said: “I knew you would be ok, when you asked for help.” Both their courage, and their way of holding pain with tenderness, reminded me of why we lean on each other, and create spaces for healing. What was a touching moment for you?

Together, we raised just over $50,000 (event goal was $50,000) and launched the Lifeline Collective, our monthly support program. We are thrilled to have this program up and running. This momentum allows us to begin planning an expansion of our Lifeline working hours so we can always be there for parents/caregivers, especially during the most critical moments.

We will keep you posted as the Lifeline grows, and we look forward to sharing more resources and care. We are very grateful to be in community with you. Thanks to you, parents/caregivers will have a listening ear and increased support on their journeys. Our families can be woven together and flourish, thanks to people who care.
