Cleanup and Repair A Human Sanctuary After Flood Damage

Just days away from celebrating the one year anniversary of opening our therapeutic healing space, A Human Sanctuary, a flash flood tore down our mountain community carrying with it debris and destruction. Only two weeks prior, we completed the fencing and walkways to make way for workshops and children's nature connection programs. The waters swept away in less than an hour what had taken us a year of love, stewardship, and hard work to build and bring to life. This event has displaced the healing services of multiple therapists who provide care to clients local to Idyllwild and the surrounding areas. We are devastated and heartbroken to see this magical place we poured ourselves into leveled so completely. In Ally's sweet little four year old words, "It's bad, it's real bad".

We are asking for anyone who is able to donate financially to support the repair of the fencing (a wiser version making room for Mother Nature), purchase rock for drainage and flow solutions, as well as to repair the pathways throughout the back yard. We are also looking for folks to offer their time, energy, or equipment to help us move the debris out of the yard and creek bed. We will be doing a work party on Sunday Sept. 28th between 9am and 5pm. Bring rakes and shovels if you have them! If you own ( or know of anyone who has ) heavier equipment, such as a small excavator or backhoe, and can donate some time or offer a discounted rate, please contact Sascha or myself directly.

Thank you all for your support!
