Rewrite Your Story

Write Around Portland’s Holiday Campaign

You know the power of story.

I bet you know how words can heal. How putting something on the page can help you understand it. How sharing your story can set you free.

Now imagine using that power to transform lives.

Write Around Portland brings free healing creative writing programs to people who need them most. People who are houseless, incarcerated, in addiction recovery, living with illness, or experiencing trauma.

And here’s what neuroscience tells us: it’s not what happens to you that matters most. It’s how you explain it to yourself.

The stories we tell ourselves shape everything:

• People with “redemptive stories” are happier and more resilient.
• People with “contamination stories” often feel stuck and pessimistic.

This year, 96% of our adult writers said our program improved their quality of life.

Your gift today creates the space for someone to discover their own story…and transform their life.

And right now, your gift is DOUBLED! A group of generous donor will match every dollar up to $20,000 (if made by December 31).

Join our community of writers and supporters today!
