We’re thrilled to announce that the Room to Breathe Foundation has returned to our original online home at www.r2bfoundation.org! After a temporary change, we’ve reclaimed our rightful space and are excited to welcome you back.
To mark this exciting milestone, we’ve updated our logo and added a fresh banner announcement to the website! These updates symbolize our renewed commitment to our mission and community.
Please pardon our look as we work on getting everything back up and running smoothly. While our website undergoes updates, rest assured this will not impact our services or the support we provide—you can continue to rely on us as always.
Visit us at www.r2bfoundation.org for the latest updates, resources, and opportunities to support our mission. And don’t forget to check us out on Facebook, with more social media platforms coming soon!
