❤️🌲 I’m asking my amazing clients and community for a little help with something very close to my heart.
This year, I’m donating a tree to the Central Oregon Hospice Festival of Trees, and my theme is “Beauty From Ashes.”
One side of the tree will appear burned and charred, representing the devastation Oregon communities have experienced from wildfires. As the tree rotates, it will transition into a beautiful, vibrant Christmas tree—representing resilience, renewal and hope.
But there’s another meaning behind this tree that is very personal to me.
Both my dad and my grandma were cared for by hospice. Hospice couldn’t make losing them easier, but they helped make their transitions comfortable, compassionate and dignified. ❤️
My hope is to create a tree that honors both stories—the strength of a community rebuilding after devastation and the hope, love and beauty that can still exist through grief and loss.
✨ And this is where I could use your help!
I’m looking for donations to accompany the tree that represent renewal, rebuilding, comfort, self-care, new beginnings and hope. Gift certificates, experiences, home or garden items, local services, wellness gifts—or connections to a local business that may want to contribute—would all be wonderful.
I am personally contributing to the tree as well, and every donation will help us create something truly special to auction in support of hospice.
If you own a business, know someone who does, have something you’d like to contribute, or simply have a great idea, please send me a message!
I would love for this tree to become something our whole community helped bring to life.
From ashes comes growth.
From loss can come hope.
And from our community can come something beautiful. ❤️🌲🔥
Thank you for helping me make Beauty From Ashes something special.
