I survived cancer.  
I survived complex trauma.
Long story short. I survived. 

Cancer saved my life! I survive. It's what I do. Or what I did, just merely. Until cancer. Until I heard those words. And it was on that journey that I realized the kind of fight I had in me. Cancer allowed me to see that I no longer had to say YES to anything less than what I deserved. It was time to start saying YES TO ME! It was also time to face my past. I have survived what was meant to kill me. On more than one occasion. And more than just cancer. It was time. It was time to go back and visit the 18-year-old me and try to make right what had gone so terribly wrong. And along the way I found hope & I found healing. 

OUR MISSION AT
( r I s e )

Our goal as an organization is to create sanctuary. Safe spaces to share our truths. Safe spaces to lay our head down at night. Safe spaces where the broken can go to begin the process of healing. Sanctuaries inside the four walls of a shelter or safe houses. Sanctuaries in the wilderness. And sanctuary in your mind. 

 

Giving them the

promise & hope that there is life after despair.

Beauty from ashes.

 

We will help them find their voice and the strength to use it. The first step in healing. We will provide for them the safe space to begin that journey back to health. Both physically and spiritually.

 

We will become a community of strength, promise, and purpose. We thank you for joining us. If you know someone in need help, submit her story here.

Mentoring and doing life with young people. Showing them that they are loved and cared for and that they matter.

sanctuary

difference

We all have a story & things that we have allowed to unfairly define us even if in our own minds.
Remember, our pasts don't have to define us.
We have the power to create a life we love. 
This is your sign to rIse!

Stories along the way...

As you rise, many people will disapprove.
