🌞 Urgent Need – Can You Help? 💙

We’re currently supporting a local family with two children who have developmental disabilities — and they do not have an air conditioner in their home.

With the extreme heat we’re experiencing, this is not just uncomfortable — it’s unsafe.

We’re hoping someone in our amazing community might have a window air conditioner they’re willing to donate to help this family stay safe and cool during the heat wave.

If you have one available or know someone who does, please send us a message or call us directly.

🙏 Thank you for your continued support and kindness — it truly makes a difference.
