Help stop the cycle of abuse and neglect. Build a multigenerational community that has a ripple effect for years to come! We are championing the building of Washington’s first intentional community for foster and kinship children and their forever families. By supporting adoptive families, and including seniors as honorary grandparents, we are creating permanence and stability for traumatized children and stopping the cycle of abuse and neglect.

We are seeking board members from greater Seattle or Tacoma areas who will be dedicated to leading our fundraising efforts at the board level.
