Happy Thanksgiving from the Appleseed Team!
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, it's a time to reflect on all the things we’re grateful for—the big moments, the small victories, and the journey we’ve taken to get here. Here at Appleseed, we’re especially thankful for the strength to grow, the courage to heal, and the unwavering support we share with each other every day.
This holiday season, we want to remind you of something incredibly important: as you extend kindness and care to those around you, don’t forget to show that same love and compassion to yourself. It’s easy to focus on the needs of others, but true balance comes when we also nurture our own well-being. Whether you’re enjoying a festive meal with loved ones or taking time for quiet reflection, take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come. You’ve faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and still found the strength to move forward. And for that, you are valued beyond words.
We recognize that the holiday season can be particularly hard for some. But please remember, you’re not alone—we’re here to help. If you or someone you care about is experiencing a crisis and needs support, reach out to Appleseed's Crisis Hotline at 419-289-6111.
