Redbird Therapy Centre

11/23/2025

Hi folks - most of you know about Redbird Therapy Centre work with the Wema Centre in Mombasa, Kenya. They do some of the most spectacular trauma recovery work with kids that we’ve ever seen. It’s an honor to work in support of their mission to rescue, rehabilitate and reunify street-connected kids. They serve up to 150 children at any given time, have community entrepreneurial programs for young adults, and family supports. It’s an amazing place!

One of Redbird Therapy associates, Aanchal Viswanathan Anand, is coming with us in March 2026 and has activated a GoFundMe page to increase our charitable contribution. 100% 💯 goes directly to Wema Centre.

I’m hoping we, as a FB community of friends, can mobilize to create a strong donation this year. Our goal is 5% of their annual operating budget. Last year we reached 10% and would love to make it to that amount again!

If you can help out - any amount - it’s very much appreciated!! I say thank you and Wema says blessings to you and your families.

You might be experiencing a cognitive distortion, where our thinking isn’t as accurate as it might be — and you’re not alone.

Awareness is the key to change. 🧠💡
