WOW! Thank you to all who have helped us get so close to meeting the generous $25,000 matching grant from Humboldt and Mendocino Redwood Companies. The grant was offered just a few months ago and we had a very hopeful and aggressive deadline of April 1st.

We’re kicking off the year with a limited-time offer to make your donation to We Are Up go even further. The Humboldt and Mendocino Redwood Companies have generously offered to match all donations up to $25,000 made to We Are Up through April 1. Here’s your chance to double your impact and take We Are Up one step closer to building our greenhouse and offering programs to our community!

I am proud and honored to share what your time, donations, and sharing of the We Are Up vision have allowed us to accomplish in just over a year. We Are Up will give seniors and people with disabilities a place to call home in their own community where they are known and will have the supports needed to live their best lives. Currently there is no available housing in Humboldt for adults with autism or other disabilities. With your help and the help of the community at large, we aim to change that alarming statistic.

What can we say? THANK YOU seems so insufficient when we think of how much support our community has showered on We Are Up. In the past month, because of YOU we have had two major community events with about 400 people attending, and we have raised over 25% of our $400,000 goal to build our greenhouse.
