Still glowing from a month filled with purpose, connection, and community. ✨
From the Thrive & Bloom Gala for Kathy’s Place, a newer women’s shelter and transition program in Portland, to volunteering with Youth Villages and attending the Omega NW Gala and Luncheon, I’ve been surrounded by women and organizations doing truly incredible work.
Last Thursday’s Gala to benefit Kathy’s Place was filled with moving stories of strength and determination. I had the joy of spending the evening with powerhouse women from — your strength, stories, and light continue to inspire me.
I also had the chance to support Youth Villages, a non profit built to guide and bring resources to foster children – their mission is truly life-changing. These transition shelters are all driving exposure and relief to an ongoing dilemma in our community. Thank you to Divine Threads, OmegaNW, and Kathy’s Place; all are dedicated to empowering and uplifting women through dignity, healing, and community.
A last non profit to mention is Medical Teams International. Thank you to for introducing me to this amazing, international non profit, bringing medical attention to refugees at the borders in other countries and our local community with medical vans that serve.
