Gratitude Through Giving 🌎 Supporting the Cleveland APL! 🐶

Who do we want to be when the current challenge passes? Maybe that thought has crossed your mind. But how about a reframe: Who do we want to be while this current challenge passes?

Our mornings, our workshops, our celebrations, our courses… these all have been focal points for catalyzing an answer to this critical question. As we continue learning and reflecting together, we’ve infused moments with vulnerability, with laughter. We’ve recognized that we all grow when we share.

And this is so evident in the ways we have externalized our gratitude for the knowledge we’ve internalized in the last two months:

• Our CommUnity has raised $12,543 for The RAFT, which supports at-risk and homeless youth in the Niagara region.
• Our CommUnity has raised $14,432 for The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, supporting food insecure families around Albany.

And now, as we celebrate Earth Day, it only makes sense to pay it forward to our connections that may not have voice, but still infuse many of our lives with warmth — animals! As people have lost jobs and dipped into their savings, many individuals are unable to keep up with the needs of their beloved animal friends. Our CommUnity is aspiring to raise $13,025 for the Cleveland Animal Protective League by Mother’s Day.
