Building a safe space for children!

We are so grateful to our long‑time partner, Team Leidos, for rolling up their sleeves over several weekends to help us transform the Sandy & Craig Buffie play therapy room.

From painting and organizing to creating cozy art therapy corners, they did whatever was needed — and the results show the love behind this project.

A huge thank‑you to everyone involved, with special appreciation for Vicki Schmanske, Carla Post and our dedicated therapists who helped bring everything together. Our children will feel the impact of your kindness every day. 💙
