🌸 Healing Sponsor Spotlight 🌸

We are incredibly grateful to VIP Tanks (Viking Industrial Painting) for stepping up as a Healing Sponsor for our Spring Fundraiser!
Founded on the principle of “Do the right thing, always,” Viking Industrial Painting has spent more than 20 years protecting essential water infrastructure and supporting safer, healthier communities across the Midwest. Their commitment to integrity, care, and long-term impact aligns beautifully with our own mission of nurturing hope, stability, and healing for the women we serve.

Just as VIP Tanks works behind the scenes to preserve vital systems our communities rely on every day, their support helps strengthen the foundation of recovery and growth for women on their healing journey. We’re honored to partner with a company that values people, purpose, and doing what’s right — always.

How Non‑Profits Work — and Why Community Is Everything.

Non‑profits don’t run on profit.
They run on people.
They stay open through a careful balance of donations, grants, volunteers, and partnerships — all fueled by a community that believes the work matters. When one piece slips, the mission feels it immediately.

Santa Monica House is in need right now.

The women served here are the ones who have been through everything — loss, trauma, and broken systems — and still choose recovery. That choice takes courage most of us will never fully understand.
And when recovery happens, the impact is exponential.
These women don’t just heal — they become leaders.
They understand the struggle because they lived it.
They stay to listen, to guide, and to reach back.
They are the ones who pull the next woman up to her full potential.
That is how change multiplies.
That is how communities are rebuilt.

But none of it happens alone.
💛 Your support keeps the doors open
💛 Your support creates safe space
💛 Your support turns survival into leadership
When you support Santa Monica House, you’re not just helping one woman — you’re strengthening the next generation of hope.

✨ he"ART" held together ✨

This incredible painting by local Omaha artist Jean Moss of ArtworkZ tells a powerful story without words.
Women standing together, holding a heart, remind us that recovery thrives in community—when women show up for one another with compassion, strength, and hope.
We’re honored to feature this piece at our 12th Annual Spring Fundraiser on our Silent Auction!

Proud to be advocating for recovery and behavioral health in Nebraska!

Heather, Leslie, and Laela from Santa Monica House showed up at Lobby Day in Lincoln alongside NABHO, advocating for the future of behavioral health in Nebraska. They connected with lawmakers to push forward critical bills including LB722 (supporting substance use disorder services), LB724 (a long‑overdue behavioral health rate study), and LB386 (improving mental health commitment processes and access to care). Strong voices. Important conversations. Real impact for the people and communities we serve. 💙
