Harold Stricklin and Alexandra DeNisco recently raised funds for an independent film and generously donated part of that support to Josselyn. Their thoughtfulness, along with the longtime support of Harold’s parents, David Stricklin and Jennifer Stricklin, is a reminder that we are grateful for every dollar that comes through our door from our community.

If you’re inspired by their story, now is the perfect time to give. All gifts made by December 31 will be matched, up to $100,000.
