A Season of Milestones

As we take the time to reflect on 2019, our hearts are filled with immense gratitude.

This year, we reached two special milestones: 10 years of service and 10,000 women with cancer served by our mission. Both of these milestones have been made possible by your ever-present support.

Each day, our guests receive restorative services, nutritious meals, and are surrounded by a new support community when they visit our home, thanks to the gift of your generosity. We are now able to serve more women than ever before, because of your kindness and love.

Recently, a guest of ours described her experience at Mary’s Place this way:

“Everyone is treated with kindness and respect. A generosity of spirit prevails. Guests can and do interact with each other. Sharing our lives is supportive and often leads to friendships. I left as a better, more compassionate person than I had been before.”

Thank you for your generosity of spirit. We are thinking of each one of you with love and wishing you Happy Holidays and a Joyful New Year.

All of our love,

Michele and Maria
