For many of the families we serve, attending the temple is a deeply meaningful experience — but logistically out of reach. Transportation costs, childcare challenges, and work schedules create barriers that can feel insurmountable.
In September 2025, Small and Simple Things organized a temple trip for 14 individuals and families. We arranged transportation, coordinated volunteer childcare, and ensured every participant had what they needed to attend with peace of mind.
The impact was profound. One young father told us, "I haven't been to the temple in three years. I forgot how much strength I draw from being there. This trip reminded me who I really am."
Experiences like these reflect what we see again and again: when people feel connected to something bigger than themselves, they find the motivation and courage to face life's challenges with renewed strength.
We are planning additional trips throughout the year, with the goal of making these meaningful experiences accessible to anyone who needs them.
