RAYSE in an initiative that seeks to help those from all walks of life. The organization believes in the quintessential saying, “It takes a village…”
Paths are different for everyone, and sometimes it is possible to fall off your yellow-brick road. For some, it is easy to get back on the right path; however, this is not always the case for many. Sometimes a helping hand is needed to lift you out of hardships,
I started on my path to find my “OZ” (so to speak--my happiness), so I decided to start a non-profit for the sole purpose of uplifting others! I have witnessed first-hand what the kindness of others can do, and I want to be the hand that reaches out to provide hope. Who doesn’t need help from time-to-time? I elected to call the non-profit RAYSE which stands for "Rising Above Yourself to Serve Everyone." In a world filled with so much sorrow, my non-profit seeks to bring out the good in all humanity.
So many people are fortunate enough to have a regular hot meal, running water, or even just a haven to call home. No matter the circumstance, everyone deserves a peace of mind. Having a support system in a time of need can make a world of difference. RASYE will work endlessly to serve those in need.
To commemorate the start of RAYSE, I would like to have a “Lunch in the Park” community event. This event will cater towards those displaced on the street, to families living in local shelters. Our intended goal is to serve 200 individuals with a brown-bagged lunch along with a personal hygienic care package that would include a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, hand sanitizer, personal wipes, lotion, and soap.
Our event will set a precedent for future goals that align with RAYSE's mission statement. We hope to receive donations to help this event a success. We aspire to be a growing organization that will partner with other causes and other agencies to satisfy our need to SERVE.
Let's make this a success!!!!
RAYSE’s tagline is “Bringing the Sunshine After the Storm.”
