Two years ago this was just a spark of an idea. A conversation. A feeling that there had to be a way to bring women together to make real change right here in our own community.
What started with the hearts of five women became 11. Then 20. Then more than 30 roses all choosing to show up for something bigger than themselves.
In just two years, together we have helped more than 20 local families through our four pillars: Home, Health, Harvest, and Holiday.
We have helped put food on tables. Helped breast cancer survivors regain pieces of their confidence and dignity. Helped children remain safely with family members through essential state-required home repairs. Helped raise awareness for kidney donation and support a young man through a successful life-saving kidney transplant journey. And behind the scenes, there are countless more stories, moments, tears, hugs, and acts of kindness that never made social media but changed lives all the same.
None of this exists without community.
Not without the roses who volunteer countless hours. Not without the businesses who believe in us. Not without every person who bought a ticket, shared a post, donated a raffle item, dropped off canned goods, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines.
This foundation was built on the idea that ordinary people can create extraordinary impact when they come together with love at the center of it all.
Two years later, that little spark is still growing.
And we are just getting started.
Happy anniversary to the creation of The Rising Rose Foundation. 🌹
