Fire & Aftermath

Words of comfort and appreciation have come from near and far.

"The fire cannot extinguish the light from candles you have helped to relight for this world. Thank you for all you have done for families in Portland and around the world!"

"Dear Dougy Center kids and teens and families, our hearts are with you. Your walls may be gone but your healing continues on."

"The fire cannot extinguish your spirit."

"May the flames of love in your hearts replace the recent memories."

"12 years ago and 1,100 miles away, The Dougy Center helped me heal through its training program. Later it helped me find my passion and my purpose. The reach of the Center is universal. The mission is fireproof."

"You have been a beacon through the fog of grief. Your new Center will be better than the first one because you give so much and receive so little."
