What an Inspiring Night!
When a Group of individuals is gathered with a shared purpose a community emerges.
I was blown away.
In the half hour before start time friends, family, and new acquaintances arrived, hands and arms wide open, the question on their lips - “How can I help?”
It was a gathering of people who want to see change, who are motivated by the pursuit of healing, and who know action must be taken to see transformation.
When we come together we see results that are grander than what can be achieved on our own. When we come together we can turn vision into reality.
In one night, 60 individuals from different walks of life, different contexts gathered- each bringing their talents, resources and creativity- and as a group raised over $7,000 within the evening and were a catalyst to the momentum of what is no longer just a cry for help, but a developing movement.
We Broke Bread together, we Saw one another and Embraced new friends. We were Stretched beyond our comfort zones and observed a Piece of a Story that stimulated action.
We are blown away by the fundraising results but what Inspires us the most, what propels us through the next chapter of this journey, is the confidence that we are not alone. The possibilities of what can happen when a community Comes Together to work towards a shared goal are endless.
Thank You for Your Presence.
That evening we learned that “A story is not a story until it is told.” Your willingness to witness our journey has allowed this Story to not be a context of isolation, but to unfold into a story that is not only transforming our family but that is creating hope, inspiration, and practical instruction for countless others who are struggling with similar contexts.
Thank you for holding that space for us. Thank you for being with and for not only us but the mission that is developing.
After only nine weeks of Fundraising this community has raised $60000. Putting us nearly halfway to our goal. Our expectations have been far surpassed and we are humbled to be surrounded by so much good will and kindness.
It is an honor to have you in our corner.
As we continue to gain momentum we hope that you will join us at our next gathering Relentless: It Takes a Village (connect hyperlink to the Eventbrite page : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/relentless-it-takes-a-village-tickets-94871393893?utm-medium=discovery&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-source=strongmail&utm-term=listing )
