Porchlight Promise
We believe in porchlights left on—
for the quiet moments,
the gentle returns,
and the fierce hope it takes to begin again.We believe in small braveries: making tea on hard days, opening windows to let in fresh air, holding space for yourself when the world is loud.We believe healing happens softly— in the hush before dawn, in laughter with someone who sees you, in choosing to keep going, even one slow step at a time.We believe love is a place you can come home to, meeting you exactly where you are— whether you’re starting over, starting late, or simply living in the now.We believe you are not broken. You are growing.You are not weak. You are gathering.You are loved. You are welcome. You are home.It invites and meets you in your truth, with warm hearts, soft hands, …and supportive, emotional work boots.We believe stories can light the way, like porchlights left on while you find your way back home—to yourself.
Our Goal
Porchlight stories are written to welcome you home—like the warm glow of the porchlight after a long drive, the scent of flowers on a summer breeze, and quiet of an evening chatting with loved ones ‘by the porchlight.’We support those who find themselves at a low spot, in need of support—Porchlightreferrals.org shares resources—when it’s time to allow someone the privilege of lending a hand, we hope you’ll take that first, brave step.
