Mission
The Mission of Starfish Foundation is to assist emotional trauma survivors
in their emotional healing, by providing funds for those unable to pay
for participation in emotional healing programs, thereby helping them
to liberate their grief, rage and shame, and allow joy to return to their
lives.
Primary Goal
Our primary goal is to provide funds for those unable to pay for participation
in Taking It
Lightly, Renewal, other intensive
weekends, and similar programs for emotional healing.
Proud

It was still early.
The mist had not yet cleared from the sea.
In the distance, a solitary figure stood throwing objects out over the
water.
Walking along the debris-strewn beach, I looked at the masses of starfish
scattered everywhere.
The tide had thrown them in, stranding them on the beach.
As the sun rose higher,
they would perish.
Approaching the stranger, I could see that it was the starfish he was
picking up and returning to the sea.
Our eyes met.
"Do you really think you can help?
There are millions of starfish on this beach.
You can help so few.
Does it really make a difference?
Does it matter?"
He reached down and picked up another starfish, looking at it intently.
"Oh yes," he replied.
"It matters to this one!"
