As we’re all aware, inflation rates keep increasing and so do the expenses associated with keeping the doors of Rossbrook House open. Unfortunately, financial support from Rossbrook House sustained funders is not rising at the same rate. Your support will help ensure that children and youth will continue to find a second home in Rossbrook House for generations to come.
