My name is Devon, and this fundraiser is on behalf of my mom, Dawn Richardson, and her preschool, Tilly Tots.

Tilly Tots is located inside the historic Hangar B, and after a recent storm caused damage to the roof, the Port of Tillamook Bay has closed the space while damages are assessed and decisions are made. During this time, the preschool has been and will be unable to operate.

This pause was unexpected, and while we work through the next steps locally, the preschool continues to face ongoing expenses and uncertainty.

The funds raised will help cover essential expenses during the closure and support the steps needed to safely re-open and/or temporarily relocate to continue the children’s education and care. Every donation, share, and message of encouragement helps ease the strain during this challenging season.

Thank you for supporting my mom, her preschool, and the community of families she serves. Even from a distance, it means everything to see people come together to support something that matters so much to her — and to so many others.
