As many of you know, we’re currently in the fundraising process for our ministry as our team of therapists and staff relocate. Would you take 10 minutes to watch the video below and consider joining us in this incredible work?

Continue reading “Summer 2024 Video & Needs”We’ve been in the states for a few weeks now reconnecting with family, participating in wedding festivites for a family member, meeting some of you (in groups and individually), and have already been sharing at a number of presentations!
It’s been a full time so far and so good overall, but also a bit surreal as we get weekly messages from our team as they pack up the office / homes ahead of us and scatter for the summer to their own home areas.
