Sleep is essential. Good sleep can be hard to come by for DV survivors. With 3 new families moving into El Nido, we need 11 fresh mattresses. These families have escaped a traumatic home and we want them to find rest at El Nido.
We’ve raised $968 for new mattresses for these families and we need $1,216 more. Help us give these moms and kids what they need to facilitate a peaceful night’s sleep.

A senior in high school and in her final year with Girl Scouts Troop 4354, Julia Lockwood asked family and friends to purchase cookies for DV families if they wished to support the scouts. That’s more than just selling cookies. That’s using her platform to give back, show gratitude, and tangibly uplift others. What a thoughtful way to give back.
Thank you, Julia, for your kindness and generosity, and for setting such a powerful example of service and community spirit.
