MiaMore Foundation would like to keep these Organizations together to give the children in First Step Champion's Program the opportunity to all of the programs offered by Healthy Living Mindfulness (formerly: Youth SEL Wellness) at their Earthling Farms location.
In underserved communities like Liberty City and Brownsville, where violence and trauma are often a harsh reality, children need safe spaces to heal, express themselves, and build resilience. The workshops offered by Youth SEL Wellness at Earthling Farms provide a unique opportunity for children in the First Step Champions program to do just that! Through art, gardening, mindfulness, and music therapy, these children can process their emotions, develop coping mechanisms, and learn valuable life skills.
In conclusion, the impact of these workshops extends far beyond the days spent at Earthling Farms. They offer a lifeline of hope, healing, and growth for children who have faced unimaginable challenges.
By supporting this fundraiser, you are investing in the well-being of these precious young lives, providing the psychosocial support needed for their growth and development, helping them build resilience, confidence, and a sense of purpose, through these transformative programs.
Your generosity will empower them to break free from cycles of violence and trauma, creating a brighter future. You're giving them a chance to experience joy, calm, and pride through creativity, mindfulness, and growing their own food. Every donation matters, and every child deserves a chance to thrive. We can make a difference together in their lives and empower a new generation of leaders to grow up healthy, happy, and whole. Thank you for your support!
