We are so grateful for the incredible support from our community. Thank you for believing in our mission. Because of people like YOU, families in the Houston area are rising 💙🎓

I absolutely love meeting and supporting people and organizations that make Houston families better, stronger and empowered.

I got to emcee RaiseUp Families graduation luncheon today… where we celebrated more than 2 dozen women who completed 9 months of financial programs & mentoring to give their families a direct path financial freedom. The women have paid off debt, started new jobs with better pay… and many are earning degrees and saving for the future.

Houstonians supporting Houstonians. And executive director Kate Yadan couldn’t be happier! 😄

Shakur earned his CDL to provide for his family. Then unexpected costs set him back, but not off course. He’s rebuilding with intention – learning financial literacy and rediscovering himself as a provider for his family.

Sondra is working multiple jobs while attending school full-time after a recent separation from a 17-year relationship. When her son with ADHD was denied Medicaid, paying for his medication out of pocket led to a major financial setback. Now, she’s focused on long-term stability for her two kids and moving toward a safe, stable home for her family. This is what progress looks like.

Small changes can lower costs for families: energy savings, reduced waste, smarter spending. Stability is built one decision at a time.
