Our focus is sharing information and resources on legal issues, healthcare, domestic abuse, career, education, financial resources and planning, parenting, ageing, elderly, and much more.

WWISH Announces Fundraiser to benefit Family Services

Join us for an evening of elegance to create opportunity.... More than 2,700 children and their families are homeless tonight. Approximately 23,000 children witness violence between adults at home each year. And 25% of the population experiences mental health issues. These sobering statistics are the moms, dads and children of King County—and the mission of Family Services is to change these numbers by changing lives. Family Services, a non-profit organization, helps strengthen our community by providing families with lasting solutions to build healthy relationships and stable lives.

  • A Mothers Day Tribute, By Laura Cruikshank

    This time of year I always look forward to the end of the school year, when my children can have a break from their busy, regimented schedules, and I get a break from being the homework Nazi and taxi driver. We can all take some time to breath, enjoy unstructured time, relax — that is until the first echoes of “I’m bored” ring through my ears. This happens usually inside a week.
