Bloom 2025: A Night to Remember

On September 13th, we celebrated our 25th Anniversary and the achievements of the families we serve! Bloom was more than a celebration; it was a tribute to the incredible strength and resilience of the moms and kids at Amethyst Place.

Together, we honored the journeys of families who have overcome immense challenges and are now building stable, hopeful futures. From powerful stories to moments of joy and connection, Bloom captured what’s possible when a community comes together to help families heal and grow.

Watch the recap video to relive the inspiration and see how your support helps families at Amethyst Place continue to bloom!

“When I made it to Amethyst, oh my God, it was mind-blowing…the sisters, the staff. I ain’t never felt a love like that, a sisterhood like that … I am striving to raise a great woman. I invest in her because she is my lifeline, and I love her with everything in me.”

“I believe in the work Amethyst Place is doing; oftentimes a second chance is so very valuable to families in distress. Providing safety and the additional resources needed to get past major life hurdles couldn’t be more valuable. Amethyst Place is providing a future for the most at-risk families and impacting our city greatly in the process!”
