Spa day! Charcoal, watermelon, aloe, and strawberry masks. Everyone enjoyed the relaxing music, lounging on the couch, and finally a gentle face scrub to fully remove the masks. Paige enjoyed a hand scrub and lotion treatment. We had a blast!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This November also marks our second anniversary and there is a lot to be thankful for.

We are so incredibly thankful for all the amazing humans that have helped us build this program. We couldn't do this without our amazing community members, community partners, families, school districts, our contractor, friends, colleagues, and all the people who support our mission.

With love and gratitude,

As many of you know our amazing community member Jamice moved to his new home with Misericordia in Chicago. Although we are incredibly happy for him, we miss him terribly. We were so happy when he invited us for a visit. We love you Jamice! We will be back to share time with you and we will stay connected!
