Make a Difference: Help Create a Sacred Community

“Together, we are creating a sacred community for healing and deep connection with the earth.”

We believe everyone deserves a safe space to heal.

At Mending Lives, we create environments where emotional, spiritual, and physical healing can take place without judgment.

"Together We Heal, Awaken, and Rebuild"

Through our initiative, Pangea Holistic Fellowship, we extend that vision to the land — uniting traditional and modern practices to restore balance between people, community, and the Earth.

🌟 Why Give

Mending Lives is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 85-1238482). Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We are committed to transparency and integrity. Every dollar goes directly toward securing and building the sanctuary. When you donate to Mending Lives, you become part of something bigger than yourself. Your support helps us secure the land that will anchor a permanent sanctuary — a sacred place dedicated to ancestral healings, ceremonies, and community connection.

This sanctuary is not just land; it is a living promise. A place where:

• 🌱 Herbal and healing gardens will grow, offering natural remedies and teaching the wisdom of the earth.

• 🔥 Sacred ceremonies and ancestral healings will take place, honoring traditions that restore balance to spirit, body, and community.

• 🏡 Retreat and gathering spaces will welcome individuals, providing guidance, restoration, and belonging.

• 🌍 Sustainable practices will be modeled and taught, protecting the earth while nurturing future generations.

• 🤝 Professional guidance will be offered by trained master’s-level trauma therapists. These specialists will guide participants before and after ceremonies — helping them evaluate readiness, develop clear intentions, and process their experiences one-on-one in a safe, supportive space.

Your gift plants the seeds of this vision. Every dollar counts. Together, we can ensure there is a sacred, permanent space where people come to heal, to learn, and to reconnect — not just for today, but for generations yet to come.
