<div>My name is Hillary Goldstein and along with Anna Maria Desipris, I am a co-founder of the Bloom Homeschool Nature Co-op. At Bloom Co-op, we believe that a farm can become the classroom for the next generation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By creating a space for meaningful collaboration, shared responsibility, and creative problem‑solving, Bloom Co-op is a farm‑based homeschool enrichment program designed for families seeking a holistic, land‑rooted framework for their children’s education. We meet weekly at Sun &amp; Bloom Farms in Lebanon, MO where parents lead activities that connect children to the natural world through hands-on learning, creativity, and shared responsibility.

<div>Much of our time is spent exploring the farm and surrounding forest—but the heart of our gathering space is a simple lean-to greenhouse. It’s where children come together for snack time, crafts, and rest. It’s a place to warm up on cold days, take shelter when it rains, and slow down together in the middle of outdoor play.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After the recent hailstorms on April 27th and 28th, that space was severely damaged. The greenhouse roof was left covered in holes, rendering it unusable for the children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are humbly asking our community for help restoring this special space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am organizing a fundraiser on behalf of our nature-based homeschool co-op. All funds raised will go directly toward repairing the greenhouse space used by our children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estimated costs:
</div>
<div>$1500 Greenhouse corrugated polycarbonate roofing panels
</div>
<div>$1500 Additional materials (gutters, silicone, screws)
</div>
<div>$500 Labor 
</div>
<div>$500 Contingency for unexpected repairs
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we are fortunate enough to raise more than our goal, additional funds will go back into the co-op to strengthen and improve the space for the children as we grow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution—no matter the size—helps bring this space back to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting these children and the kind of childhood we’re trying to protect.
