Among friends

Among Friends is an evening grounded in a simple but powerful truth: every one of us can be a Friend to a child who has experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

Featuring Ashley Rhodes-Courter, New York Times and international bestselling author of Three Little Words and Three More Words, this inaugural gathering invites Southwest Florida into meaningful conversations about healing, belonging, and the power of connection.

Following her remarks, guests will move into curated table conversations designed to deepen understanding and strengthen our shared commitment to the children in our community who deserve stability, dignity, and the opportunity to build a future defined by hope.
