“I am so proud of our partnership with Phillips & Co, who offer essential help and services to our families and returning hostages. Since we launched in April 2016, they have delivered a range of services to people in need. For example, they worked with a former hostage whose credit rating had deteriorated during his captivity as his family was rightly focused on securing his release rather than managing his finances. Phillips & Co resolved this, which enabled him to get a credit card and buy a car, both of which are essentials for life in the United States. They have also worked with one of our families struggling to manage complex savings and investments, removing this stress at what is one of life’s most traumatic experiences of having a loved one kidnapped. 

It is often the practical things that are neglected during a kidnapping. What seems like mundane and small things can become overwhelming for hostages and their families at what is a time of extreme stress and anxiety. I have seen first hand how the work of Tim and his team has – quite literally – changed lives for the better.

Hostage US is grateful for the care and professionalism of the Phillips & Co team. We are proud to call them our partners.”

Hough_Foundation_Logo.jpg"I was thinking about the people that make up our community, all the good that is done, the love that is shown, and... you came instantly to my mind. Being the Executive Director of the Hough Foundation offers me the opportunity to meet and work with all kinds of people and be exposed to all kinds of situations.  We have wonderful families in the Hough Neighborhood.  Some of them are needing a little care… understanding… help. 

You provide them with warmth, consideration and the feeling that someone cares when you create the warm and beautiful hats, gloves, blankets and bags that you do.  By sponsoring fundraising events that bring programs to our schools, food, and clothes to our kids, supplies to our teachers. 

Living and working with people that create a reliable, caring, trustworthy community makes Vancouver one of the great cities that it is. ...Michael [Goodrich]  and Phillips and Company... ha[ve] left us in a better place... with the feeling that we are understood and cared for. Thank you for all that you do."

- Jill Campbell, Executive Director, Hough Foundation
