We’re asking for your help!

Coats for Kids News:

We did it! We raised $10,000 so that we can get a matching grant from the Washington Foundation! A huge shoutout to Rebecca Kyle for her donation and challenged other Realtors to do the same, she helped raise a total of $700!

We were getting down to the wire, I started sweating..😅😅 I reached out to Jerene-Brody Broker at IDEAL Real Estate Montana and they covered the rest! I’m so excited that the brokerage I hang my license at supports my cause. A cause that helps sooo many children in the areas we serve professionally.

We have $20,000 to buy boots for the children. $20,000! What a blessing to our Valley.

Thank you to everyone who helped raise the funds/contributed!

Onto raising funds for the rest of the gear!

We’re so close to reaching our goal — and with your support, we can get there! 💙 Every dollar makes a difference and goes directly toward providing coats, boots, and winter gear for children in need. This specific fundraiser is for boots.
