Support Niki's Family and Legacy

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Nicole Barnhouse, our beloved coworker and cherished friend. Niki was a remarkable person who brought joy and kindness to all who were fortunate to know her. Her passion was in providing a safe and fun home away from home at The Growing Room. With her heartwarming smile, Niki welcomed countless children and their families for the last eighteen years. Her absence will be deeply felt.

Niki leaves behind her loving husband, Jeff, and her young son, Brian. As we mourn this devastating loss, we want to come together to help support Niki’s family during this incredibly difficult time. We are raising funds to assist with her family’s immediate needs, including relocating to be closer to family and Brian’s school to provide consistency for him and to help ensure his future is as bright as Niki envisioned. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference and help Niki’s family celebrate her life and legacy. Thank you for your support, and for keeping Niki and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
