April Updates

We have events EVERY MONTH, and we can use your help!

But first, a THANK YOU! We have been so pleased with the response from our February newsletter! Thanks to the many generous donors in the KC area and beyond making donation commitments to the end of the year, we now anticipate being able to cover all of our rent and utilities for 2024!! We hope over the next month or two to continue to raise funds to fully cover our programs and services. Thank you so much for your partnership in this mission!

VOLUNTEERS BRING LIFE TO KC!

Finally, a big THANK YOU to each of our volunteers! You have made it possible for us to serve our community well. We need a few more people to jump on board over the next few months. We have a work day this week prepping our outside space for some spring and summer blooms, we need people to serve at each of our summer events, and we would love to have someone with a heart to work with people help us manage our volunteer program. Volunteers are actually needed across the metro area! If your passion isn't what we are doing, let us know, and we will try to connect you to another organization or ministry where your gifts can be used to bless our community. To volunteer or for more information email: melissaf@traumahealingcenterkc.com.

 

OUR GOAL

As we continue to build relationships, and support and train those who are caring for the community, not only will we as a community be better equipped to handle the trauma and tragedy around us, but we believe we will begin to see less of it. When the signs and indicators of trauma appear, they will be recognized and addressed quickly and in a god-honoring and healing way.

 

This will make our families stronger, waitlists for services will decrease, the foster care system will be transformed, and our churches and non-profits will be stronger and healthier than ever before!

God has called each of us to this!

Please consider praying about how you may be able to help our community become one of health and healing for those who are local and abroad! Share your ideas or the way you are already helping with those around you to encourage growth and support of ministries and non-profits across the area.

When you visit our website, you will also find counseling recommendations, ways to get involved, a shop where you can purchase one of the many resources produced by Stefanie Hinman and Melissa Finger, and MUCH, MUCH more!
