Red Dress Day is a day of awareness and mourning for the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2Spirit people in Canada. Their lives mattered. Their stories matter. Their families matter.

We honour them today and every day.

We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received from BC Interior Community Foundation. These funds allow us to continue to provide the important resources we do for the women in our community 🫶

Sometimes, support arrives exactly when it’s needed most.

Thanks to the Stollery Charitable Foundation Fund, we were honoured to award a $10,750 grant to The Family Resource Centre (The Tree).

Recently, The Tree has been navigating an incredibly difficult time. Executive Director Susan Wright experienced the unimaginable loss of her son in a car accident. In moments like these, even the strongest leaders need space to grieve, and organizations need support to carry forward their vital work.

This grant will provide emergency staffing support, ensuring that families continue to receive care, while allowing Susan the time she needs.

Because this is what community philanthropy does. It shows up when it matters most.

Today we recognize the strength, resilience, and leadership of women in our community.

At The Tree, we see every day how women support one another through community. From the women who walk through our doors seeking support, to the staff, volunteers and community members who help make this work possible.

Today is a reminder that when women are supported, entire communities grow stronger.

Thank you to the women who continue to show up, speak up and lift others along the way.

Happy International Women's Day.

We want to share something difficult with our community.

Our Executive Director, Susan Wright, is grieving the loss of her son, JJ Wright.

Susan, her husband Chris, their children JJ and Sarah-Jayne, and their son-in-law Caleb have all been part of The Tree community. JJ’s loss is felt by our staff, participants, and many who spend time in this space. Susan has given so much care and leadership to this organization, both as a professional and as a mother, and we feel this loss alongside her and her family.

We also want to acknowledge the other families who are grieving during this time. Our thoughts are with all those who have lost loved ones and whose lives have been changed by this loss.

We are taking time to support one another and to continue caring for the women and families who rely on The Tree.

The Tree is a non-profit society and registered Canadian charity. Our vision is one of women’s belonging and recovery. At The Tree we walk with women and their families, facilitating healing, connections and support.

Many people have asked how they can offer support. For those who wish, donations to The Tree are one way to help sustain the work we do alongside women and families in our community. Donations can be made here: https://www.kfrs.ca/donate/. All expressions of care are appreciated.

Thank you for holding Susan, JJ, their family, and our community with care.
