You’re here because you know what well-being looks like, and you want it for Courtney and Sylvan.

You probably already know parts of the story -- how Courtney is an incredible solo parent who nurtures havens of love, beauty, and safety -- not just for Sylvan but for all the young artists who attend her community arts camps. How Sylvan is a bright, funny, creative kid who loves swinging, cats, and rocks. And how chronic illness and long COVID have made everyday life for Courtney and Sylvan far harder than it should be.

So let’s help make it easier.

The biggest practical need right now is childcare support — creating more opportunities for Sylvan to be held in community, and more opportunities for Courtney to rest, recover, and breathe.

Some people may want to help financially. Others may want to spend time with Sylvan directly. Both matter deeply.
