Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have decided to postpone our fundraiser. Any tickets purchased will be refunded.

William Joseph Crisis Nursery is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded in 2024. The organization is named after William Joseph Rawlings aka "Uncle Will."

The Executive Director/ Founder, Rachel Moore, has a son, Eli Rawlings (10) who was born with a rare birth defect called Biliary Atresia. Eli's condition required him to need a liver transplant when he was 15 months old. Eli waited on the liver transplant list for almost a year. Uncle Will stepped up to the plate to become Eli's living related donor. He donated 40% of his liver to Eli to save his life. Will drowned in a fishing accident in 2017. Will was a hero and loved children. We plan to keep his legacy alive by telling his story through William Joseph Crisis Nursery.

We are the first Crisis Nursery in Kentucky and plan to have twelve locations across the state. We will provide a safe environment for children to reside, while supporting caregivers navigating various crisis situations. Our program is voluntary, with a primary goal to prevent foster care placement.

Our mission is to provide a safe haven for children during times of crisis, offering support, love, healing and resources to families in need, ensuring the well-being of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Our vision is to create a community where every child feels loved, safe and supported during times of family crisis, empowering families to remain intact, overcome challenges and thrive together.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
