The TONI Connection

RAK Day is coming up this Monday, February 17! As we gear up for a day dedicated to spreading kindness, let’s start by focusing on the kindness we show ourselves. Taking time to reset, relax, and recharge isn’t just self-care—it’s the fuel you need to keep sharing love and positivity with the world.

💙 Take a deep breath.
📖 Unplug and enjoy a quiet moment.
✍️ Reflect on what you’re grateful for.
😌 Remind yourself: Rest is not selfish.

How will you practice self-kindness this weekend? Share your moment and inspire others! https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/rak-week

Dear supporters and friends,
I know it has been quite awhile since we have posted any updates. 2019 ended on a very sad note as I lost my father and then was knocked down by three illness in a row. 2020 brought great challenges with COVID 19. Erica, Anthony and I work for senior care, SNF, centers. We were under extreme pressure and stress with the special circumstances this virus brought into our lives. Trying to keep the lives of 140+ safe and healthy took a different toll on my own health, unrelated to the virus.

With this new year, we are looking forward to developing some sense of normalcy while continuing the safe practices that have been put in place. As soon as we are able we hope to start up our scholarship program, continue our education about domestic violence and supporting our community.

We are so grateful for the support we have received and are excited for what the future holds.

All of our best,
Stasi, Phil, Erica, Anthony and Toni

occurs prior to or concurrently with physical or sexual abuse.
