Our Story -
A lot of people experience bullying at some point in their life. For us it is no different. Each of us has been through some form of bullying at different stages in our lives and we have carried that feeling of what it is like with us always. We work in conflict resolution and we see how many different types of bullying there are every day. It comes in so many different packages and different situations and it just gets worse at time passes. We wanted to do something that could help make a difference.

Our goal is to create an initiative in Kentucky that will help raise the funding needed to bring these new programs to our schools, communities and Eldercare population free of charge. We need to put a stop to bullying now because every day that we don’t do something to change, we increase the potential of more damaged lives.
Our Budget -
To start we want to bring this program to 14 schools free of charge. To do this we need to raise $50,000. This includes the time and resources needed to provide a program to each of these 14 schools that will bring awareness and individual instruction to each teacher, counselor and school employee to recognize the different types of bullying and how to deal with it in a positive manner that not only helps the victim but also helps the bully re-write their future. We don't want these kids to be forgotten at such a young age when they are still young enough to change their course in life. Our stretch goal is $100,000 to bring this program to an additional 14 schools. This funding will not only bring the initial training needed but also follow up training to continue the fight against bullying.
