Embrace Compassion We encourage and give hope to children in hard places - working as a team to make life just a little bit brighter. Everyone can make a difference!

Embrace Compassion was established in 2010 and is a grassroots organization partnering with a beautiful rural village in Ethiopia to encourage family preservation, education, and share humanitarian relief. Our Bright Spot sponsorship program encourages children to stay in school and provides supplies like shoes, uniforms, school notebooks and hygiene materials. We also volunteer in the same area at the local hospital bringing helpful supplies and spending time in the pediatric unit. After the founder's son was diagnosed with childhood cancer in 2020, the team at Embrace Compassion expanded its programming to include making life a little bit brighter for cancer kids. Embrace Compassion currently provides programming at a farm in Sherwood, Oregon where cancer kids and their siblings can safely play and just be a kid. Each month we offer a themed "Brighter Box" filled with farm goodness to continue the farm experience at home. We love children and partner with the families to share hope and encouragement, one child and one family at a time. We believe everyone can make a difference! Embrace Compassion is a 501c3 and all gifts are tax deductible. Partnering with Embrace Compassion truly makes the life of a child brighter. Sign up today to sponsor a child in rural Ethiopia or to provide programming at the farm for kids with cancer! One-time gifts also make what we do possible!

So grateful for the young man who volunteers at the farm and him sharing this with me. This book represents everything I will forever work to become. This is a must read for every gardener, every person who sees seeds in the hearts of those around them. This is for all of us. Kaytlynn Bridges

A HUGE shout out to the The Oregon Clinic for joining us at the farm! We have been preparing for the Pioneer Farm event on Sunday hosted by Jennifer Bridges at Pearl street Urban farm. The Oregon clinic not only shared a generous grant with us this year but also arrived on site with muscles and valuable help. Fall is such a perfect time to share our gratitude and we could not be more thankful for our volunteers! Join us Sunday 10/4 for our annual onsite fundraiser!

The students did it again! They showed up for Serve Day and made the sparkle happen! So grateful for the partnership and teamwork! Sharing the beautiful farm experiences for our children in cancer treatment would not happen without lots of love and work behind the scenes. These guys showed up to work and make what we do possible. Thank you team! George Fox Student Life George Fox Parents & Families George Fox University Wendi Upjohn-Hankel

September is pediatric cancer awareness month.

His life was beautiful, ordinary, and so much fun… until it wasn’t. And there wasn’t anything we could do to stop the suffering and death. His Neuroblastoma journey was 9 months long. $1.1M Unmeasurable pain, suffering and trauma for all of us.

The treatments used for children are outdated and rarely work. The outcomes are bleak. The secondary cancers from the treatment itself come later when least suspected.

I wish I didn’t have to say we know, but we do.

We miss him. Pediatric cancer is not rare. There are many more like us.

Julian Peace, forever 12 days short of 2 1/2 years old.
