We are honored to be awarded the Salute to Small Business Nonprofit Impact Award by @commercelex!!

“I have really sweet kid memories of laying down

“I have really sweet kid memories of laying down under a tree and looking up at the sky,” says Ryan Koch, residential program manager.

Ryan is committed to planting more trees for residents to enjoy and reduce our carbon footprint.

He recently installed a big disc swing on a strong black cherry tree in the front lawn. “Moms and kids can all get on it at once and have a carefree moment.”

Tonight I picked flowers with a sweet 7-year-old at the shelter. The day before we fed horses together. And the day before that we made art to express our feelings.

One moment we’re catching fireflies, the next we’re having meltdowns and needing a second to catch our breath.

Every day here is filled with a new challenge— all the while, a unique special moment lends itself to us and appears without having to ask.

Being an advocate the past 4 months has truly nourished my soul. The gratitude and joy I feel on a daily basis being able to not only connect with, but create a loving safe space with survivors, is something I’ll always treasure.

Darkness and pain are ever present, but I’m forevermore here to hold space for people and their spirits in all their moments of both pain & healing.
