As the Seasons Change, So Do We: Why Your Support Matters Most Now

As the leaves begin to turn and we ease into the heart of the holiday season, I find myself reflecting on what this time of year brings out in all of us. Autumn is beautiful, but it also has a way of stirring up a mix of emotions like joy, nostalgia, stress, and sometimes a deep sense of loneliness. At Parents' Foundation, we see firsthand how the fall and winter months can intensify mental health challenges, even for those who appear to be “doing just fine.”
The truth is, we all struggle with mental health at some point in our lives. No one is immune. And during this season, when days grow shorter and expectations grow heavier, those struggles can feel even more overwhelming. This is why our mission matters so deeply, and why your support makes a real, human difference.
Our Fall Appeal is more than a fundraiser. It’s an invitation to stand with us in community. It’s a reminder that compassion has power. And it’s an opportunity to directly support the individuals we serve, people who rely on us for safety, stability, and the chance to build lives filled with dignity and hope.
Your generosity helps us provide:
Safe, therapeutic spaces
Compassionate clinical support (through our partnerships)
Life-enhancing programming
Crisis stabilization
And the everyday kindness that helps someone feel seen, valued, and not alone
Every contribution, large or small, reaches someone who may not have anywhere else to turn. You make it possible for us to show up, consistently, for those who are navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives.
This season, I invite you to join us in strengthening our mental health community. Together, we can bring warmth to someone’s cold day, stability to someone’s uncertainty, and hope to someone who needs it most.
Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for caring. And thank you for standing with us, especially now, when it matters so much.
Wishing you peace, connection, and gentle moments this fall.
