Support Ingrid's Healing Journey

Dear friends,

Our beloved Ingrid is navigating one of the biggest challenges of her life—healing from breast cancer (invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3, the most agressive). If you know Ingrid, you know how deeply she gives to others. She has spent decades supporting families, parents, and educators through her work in Nonviolent Communication, personal mentoring and counselling, her book Diaper Free, and her community leadership at Wisdom of the Earth, as well as giving to her four children and her partner Jean-Claude. Now, she needs our support.

Over the past 9 months, Ingrid has dedicated herself to a comprehensive healing approach that includes medical treatments, surgeries, naturopathic care, IV therapy, nutritional protocols, and trauma healing. The costs of these treatments have been staggering—over $18,000 so far—draining the family’s savings and making it challenging for her to take needed time off work.

Ingrid's healthcare providers agree that the coming year is crucial in ensuring her long-term well-being, and financial support would allow her to continue the therapies that are making a difference.

This fundraiser will help cover:

Ingrid is not someone who asks for help easily (getting her to agree for us to do this campaign took months!), but those of us who love her know she deserves to receive the same care and generosity she has given to so many.

If you feel called to contribute, any amount will make a meaningful difference.

If you can’t donate financially, sharing this campaign or offering meals, home or gardening support, or therapeutic services are extremely valuable too.

If you would feel more comfortable sending a donation directly, or would like to offer other support, you can contact Ingrid directly at [email redacted]

Please give what you can to support Ingrid's healing journey. We love her so much and want her to thrive.

With gratitude….

Cat & Nikoya
