Hi friends and family! Welcome to my Givebutter page. As anyone willing to listen knows, I love RISE! My role at RISE has grown to be much more than just a job for me. This work, the people we work with, and the builders we have the honor to represent—they're my why. They inspire me every day to work harder, to navigate through obstacles whether they are of my own making or otherwise, and to construct a new, brighter future.

Your donation allows us to continue this work—to enter prisons and teach our courses, to walk side by side with our builders as they reenter our communities. It provides business classes to formerly justice involved individuals and their families, empowering those with a vision that might otherwise be out of reach. It connects families, broken or whole, to learn communication skills, fostering better relationships with each other and themselves. This work is messy, but my goodness, it is beautiful.
