The Giving Tree at Cottonwood
At the heart of Cottonwood Hospice stands a tree-not one rooted in soil, but in compassion. Its branches don't sway in the wind, but they hold something just as powerful: the names of those who've given, remembered, and loved.
This is the Giving Tree, a living tribute nurtured by the Cottonwood Hospice Charitable Foundation. Each leaf added to its branches represents a gift-a donation made in honor of a life well lived, a caregiver's kindness, or a volunteer's quiet strength.
The Foundation exists to ensure that no patient faces the end of life without comfort, dignity, and connection. Each donation for a leaf is more than a just donation-it's a promise. A promise that someone will be remembered; that comfort will be extended, and that love will continue to grow.
As the tree leaves are placed on branches, it becomes a forest of legacy. And in that forest, every leaf whispers: You mattered. You are remembered. You helped someone feel less alone.
