Do You Want to Make a Difference?

Have you heard about the new non-profit in town?


Resilient Retreat is cutting edge, and it's helping individuals overcome the abuse and trauma that they've encountered. Many individuals are struggling at this moment, particularly since COVID has impacted our lives. Domestic violence at home has increased and first responders have been pushed to their limits. Did you realize that you experience second hand trauma like you experienced it yourself? That is the reason Resilient Retreat serves survivors of abuse and trauma, however first responders and helping experts, for example, fire and police officers, medical personnel, crisis line operators, social workers, and nonprofit staff. Current research shows that 90% of individuals have encountered trauma in their life in this way, in the event that it wasn't you, it was somebody you know. Also, locally, about half of our first responders on call and helping professionals are revealing to us that they're experiencing PTSD and burnout.


Services Offered

We're all affected whether it's direct or indirectly, so it comes as no surprise that Resilient Retreat now has a wait list for their free services. However, there is a solution to this problem and this is where Resilient Retreat comes in. They offer a bevy of services for survivors, equine therapy, neurofeedback, foam rolling, journaling, art therapy, support groups, yoga, nutrition, and the list goes on. But the magic comes in in the fact that they gather information to see how effective these services are for their participants. It's uncommon to see a science driven, research based nonprofit and that's what makes Resilient Retreat stand apart. Another reason is that Resilient Retreat is extremely collaborative. They work with other nonprofits to train their staff, to prevent burnout, reduce stress, and improve self care. High staff turnover is expensive and tedious. So now that you know the problem and the solution, this is where you can help.


Where You Come In

Resilient Retreat is asking that you consider making a donation through the Flanzer Trust and in that trust, they will match your donation between $25 and $500 so you can double your money, double your impact. To elaborate; it costs $20 for one person to attend a workshop, $60 for one person to go to equine therapy, $80 for one person to go to neurofeedback and, if you really want to do the whole enchilada, $500 for 25 people to attend a workshop. I mentioned how you could have double the impact, but you actually have triple the impact and I’ll explain how. 


How it Works

Firstly, when you make a donation through the Flanzer Trust to Resilient Retreat, your $100 will magically turn into $200. Secondly, Resilient Retreat is collaborative with other nonprofits so your dollars are going to go deeper and further into our community to help other nonprofits prevent staff burnout which negatively impacts their annual budget. Lastly, and most importantly, your money is going to those people who are suffering and in need. As we travel the road of resilience, we ask you to come along for the ride and help people who are merely surviving go to truly thriving. 


With your donation we can make this happen. Thank you for taking the time to read and your consideration in donating to Resilient Retreat. I promise it is worth it!

Are you thinking about selling your house but don't know what route to use to sell it? Is it even worth using a realtor or can you sell it on your own? We’re about to find out! Hi, I'm Sherri Mills with Michael Saunders & Co. and today, I’m going to walk you through the process of selling a home so that you can decide if hiring a real estate agent is right for you. HAT 1- An Educator As a former educator, I am just the person to help you understand market conditions, how your home compares to others on the market and keep you informed through every step of the selling process. Hat 2- Home Designer Once we come up with a plan of action that fits your specific situation, I’ll get to work. First, we need to begin preparing the property for the market so we need to become your home designer. Next, I’ll help you determine what in your home needs to be addressed and what doesn’t and I’ll be there to schedule any vendors we may need to bring in to ensure your home is ready to show in its best light. Getting top dollar only happens if we do this step right! Hat 3- Marketing Guru Eventually you’ll get your property ready to list and then we become your marketing guru. Selling a house takes a lot more than just putting a sign in the yard and listing it on the MLS, you need to position and market it correctly. You can find me shouting from the rooftops to let everyone know that your property is for sale. Hat 4- Ambassador And it’s during the time that your house is being actively marketed, I become your ambassador. It’s not only my job to sell your house, but I need to make people fall in love with it. This includes finding information about the schools, shopping, and even commute times. Hat 5- Negotiator And once we do get an offer on your property, I become your negotiator. This is where the magic happens. You see you don't want some push over type of agent, you want someone who is going to fight for every penny. But, it doesn’t have to be like WWIII during this period! I use my soft skills too to get you exactly what you want! Hat 6- Therapist Once we are under contract, I’ll become your therapist... because you’re going to need it. Especially if you are buying and selling at the same time or doing so long distance. My job is to worry about the details so you don’t have to. Hat 7- Firefighter Things will happen and when they do it’s my job to put that fire out… so we can get you the house you deserve! Hat 8- Closer My last job is that of The Closer! I coordinate all the professionals such as the appraiser, inspector, closing agent, buying agent, etc. to make sure we get you to closing day! Not to mention, mounds of paperwork! Selling real estate doesn't have to be stressful but selling your home is a big deal and shouldnt be taken lightly. You want to make sure that who you hire to sell your home can wear these hats seamlessly. Thanks for watching another episode of Live2Give and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
