A family in our community is navigating a traumatic crisis and is in need of support in the coming months -- we hope you will join us in helping Melissa Taylor and her children, Noah, Emma, and Joe.

The nature of this emergency is serious and sensitive. It requires handling that respects the family's privacy. At the same time, the family is going through financial, emotional, and logistical hardships that cannot be faced alone. She is solely supporting her household through what will be a long and highly stressful process and helping her children heal with specialists that incur high out-of-pocket costs.

Community support in these critical weeks and months will help lift them from crisis-- giving Melissa the space to focus on healing and rebuilding with her children.

The Honey Creek Community School and the Great Oak Cohousing Community are both organizations with a heartening tradition of pooling resources in the face of an emergency. If you're a friend from those arenas, or elsewhere, thank you for banding together.
