Wings for Angels 
Alexis Weise, a student at Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida developed the idea of making ceramic butterflies to display in our healing garden, located in the wooded area behind our newest facility, The Believe In Tomorrow House at Pinnacle Falls. The healing garden will be a place where family members can go during their respite to truly get away from it all. It is individuals like Alexis that come up with such ideas from the heart that touch our families the most and really represent the overall goal of our foundation. Not only has Alexis been able to gather other students to create these ceramic butterflies for the garden, but she has even expanded the project with the idea of creating smaller versions of the wings to sell at her school, the surrounding community and nationally, with the proceeds benefiting Believe In Tomorrow. Please visit their website where you can purchase these items and help Believe In Tomorrow.
