Rise & Drive Transportation Appeal

Next week will be filled with excitement and energy as Rise Above Poverty will engage with over 50 kids every week through our three Youth initiatives. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to provide these students with academic assistance and mentoring. However, we realize that there are others in our communities who lack access to the same opportunity.

We envision a future where every child can access our three crucial Youth Initiatives. The Rise Above Poverty’s Reading Clinic and our mentoring programs Battle Ready Men for boys, and Little Ladies of Promise for girls.

Field trips are also central to our youth programs, which enrich their education and broaden their horizons. However, without reliable transportation, these excursions become costly and complicated endeavors.

Additionally, our commitment to supporting local schools with essential supplies is constant. Reliable transportation for gathering and delivering these supplies is crucial to fulfilling our mission.

To tackle these challenges, we're launching a transportation appeal to raise $50,000 for a passenger van. Your generous support will bridge the gap and ensure no child is left behind due to transportation limitations.

Your contribution will directly help children to break free from the cycle of poverty. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
