Supporting OTM
Please support On The Mend, Inc. (“OTM”) to fulfill its mission of helping children recovering from illness, medical treatment or extraordinary life challenges experience the therapeutic power of nature. OTM hosts Wilderness/Wellness Retreats, providing a relaxed and positive environment in which participating children (and a parent/guardian) are introduced to the fundamentals of various outdoor activities, with an emphasis on fly fishing. The Retreats also include an informal educational component, which intended to cultivate a commitment to environmental protection and stewardship. The Retreats are intended to provide children with a fun, positive and healthy distraction from the illnesses and challenges they have battled, instill an appreciation of nature, and inspire the pursuit of an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle. Gifts are tax deductible to the extent of the law.
Below is a list of items OTM is wishing for our Retreat Seasons. Whether a pair of waders or a case of water, every little bit helps.
NOTE: You may donate the actual item(s) listed or monetary equivalent. Please drop us a note via email at hello@onthemend-flyfish.org or call (248) 796-4162 with any questions.
