ABOUT
Class project for 2024...
Project Goal is to raise $40,000 to support the LeaP Outside project initiative.
The heart of the project revolves around creating an inclusive and vibrant outdoor sanctuary that promotes healing, connection, and community for children and their families dealing with grief.
This includes fostering a sense of comfort, building connections among the children, and providing a healing environment through appealing gardens, inspiring art installations, and safe play areas. Additionally, the project aims to extend the support to include community dining, outdoor grief support groups, and opportunities for families to build connections and find solace together.
