Our-TreeHouse

Thank you and Happy Holidays from your friends at Our TreeHouse.

We so greatly appreciate the powerful response from you to our plea for help this past month. Your support has helped us to continue to provide grief programing for children, young adults, teens and their families this year. We are optimistically planning and restructuring for the coming year to better serve our community and get Our TreeHouse on more stable ground.

Whatcom Community Foundation is providing OTH time with Sara Lawson, a professional consultant. Sara will join our team to help us strategize more effective ways of accessing grants and non-profit funding opportunities, as well as assist in a restructure of our organization to become more sustainable. Sara has years of experience in the non-profit sector and we are thrilled with the new possibilities and learning opportunities available through this new partnership.

We wish you all a Happy Holiday Season. Thank you again, and you will be hearing from us soon with updates on our progress and plans for the future.

Sincerely,

Our TreeHouse Board of Directors:
Marla Tyree, Mimi Meggyesy, Ann Wark, Lara Miles, Renae Ingraham, Dodi Mason, Mitch Bubb, Tricia Milstead.

Happy Holiday’s and Thank You from The Board of Directors, Staff and Participants of Our TreeHouse, we appreciate all you do.

2022 has been a tough year for us and we need your support more than ever. The need for grief support has never been higher, our call volumes have increased significantly. We have a list of new families that would like to join program following the holidays this year, and we want to be here to support them.

If you are able please consider a donation today, as we struggle to keep our doors open to children and families in need. Families need us, and we need you.

It’s that time of year again where we are reminded to give thanks and gratitude. More often then not, we are thankful for the wonderful people that make up our lives and give them vibrancy.

A monthly contribution to Our Treehouse goes a long way in helping us support children and families who are grieving the death of those loved ones.
