π«Ά βοΈWith the start of the school year nearing, now’s a good opportunity to remind our kids to BE KIND.
School can be overwhelming. And while some kids walk through those doors feeling confident and excited, others walk in carrying things we can't always see — insecurities, challenges at home, nervous about making friends, etc.
A smile, a "hey," or an invitation to sit together at lunch might just be someone's saving grace! β€

Life is full of tough seasons, but one of the keys to protecting your mental health π§ is having the right people in your corner who you can lean on, confide in, and trust to have your best interests at heart.
That support system doesn’t always have to be family. It can be anyone who offers encouragement, understanding, and a safe space to be yourself. π You’re never alone! β¨
Wrapping up on Christmas in July means we're officially more than halfway to the 9th Annual Olivia's Dream Toy Drive! π±
Its early yet, but we wanted to pop in with a friendly reminder to keep us in mind for toy donations as the holiday season approaches. Around November, we'll share more details, including a list of our East Side and West Side toy drive collection locations.
Keep an eye out for updates, and as always, you can support our mission year-round by donating online at https://www.oliviasdream.org/take-action. π
