Support Our Mission by Donating Today!
At Rising From Shadows Foundation, we believe every survivor of childhood abuse and neglect deserves hope, healing, and a chance to rebuild. Our mission is to empower adult survivors through confidential resources, trauma-informed mentoring, advocacy, scholarships, and life-changing referrals. But to take our first critical steps forward, we need your help. We are seeking to raise $50,000 within the next 60 days to fund stage one of our vision: securing a dedicated office and meeting space and launching our advocacy budget to serve survivors more effectively, by effecting law change both state-wide and nation-wide.
A physical office is more than just a location—it’s a safe haven where survivors can find compassion, confidentiality, and community. It’s a place where mentoring and support groups can meet in privacy, where advocacy efforts can be coordinated, and where hope can take root. With your support, we’ll also be able to launch our advocacy initiatives: working directly with lawmakers, raising public awareness, and helping to change the laws and systems that impact survivors every day.
Your donation—whether $10 or $10,000—directly fuels this vision. Every dollar brings us closer to opening our doors and expanding our reach. You’ll be helping to create a safe space for survivors to share their stories, access resources, and begin their healing journey. You’ll also be investing in advocacy that can bring about real, systemic change for those who have suffered in silence for too long.
We invite you to join us in this urgent mission. Please consider making a gift today to help us reach our $50,000 goal in the next 60 days. Your generosity will have an immediate and lasting impact—bringing hope, healing, and transformation to survivors across our community and beyond.
Together, we can build a foundation where every survivor feels seen, heard, and supported. Donate now and help us turn this vision into reality. Visit this page, or contact us at admin@risingfromshadows.com to make your contribution or learn more about how you can help.
