Proceeds from the raffle will be utilized to help women and children rebuild their lives by providing resources to help them in whatever way possible to become self-sufficient and independent away from harm's way. Basic needs and safety will always be priority with funds. We believe after basic needs are addressed it is imperative to help rebuild and reinforce a person mentally and physically to help them build a foundation for success. Generally, people who need personal training, self-defense courses, counseling, or even a day at the spa to help rebuild their outward appearance can't afford these luxuries. This often leaves people stuck in abusive relationships while being weighed down by the lack of resources and the ability to build a better life, family, and career. Our mission is to remove the barriers and help everyone build a life they love and be successful.
