The Layne Project seeks your help

Every day, foster youth who have faced trauma, instability, and neglect are at an increased risk of exploitation by traffickers. For these young people, a safe home is more than just a roof over their heads. It’s the foundation they need to heal, rebuild, and reclaim their future. RAISE THE ROOF is not just about constructing buildings, it’s about creating a sanctuary where youth can find security, support, and love. Magdalena’s Daughters Village will provide these youth with a safe space to heal from their past, access education, and dream of a future free from the horrors of trafficking. But we can’t do it without you. We need your support to raise $250,000 to purchase the land that will serve as the foundation for these life-saving homes. Your donation is more than just a contribution. It’s an investment in a young person’s future. Every dollar you give helps us create a space where these youth can find the stability they’ve been denied. Please, stand with us in this mission. Together, we can RAISE THE ROOF and give foster youth a lifeline to safety, hope, and a brighter future. ➡️ Click the link to donate gofund.me/8e690097 #GivingTuesday #RAISEtheRoof #MagdalenasDaughters #HopeForYouth #EndHumanTrafficking #Fosteryouth #Humantrafficking #Nonprofit

The KAT6 Foundation is facing an urgent need for support as we continue to fight for children affected by KAT6-related conditions. Tragically, we lost another child from our community just a few days ago—bringing the total to eight children in the past 3.5 years. This heartbreaking reality highlights why research is urgently needed to understand and ultimately treat these rare genetic conditions. We are deeply grateful for a $50,000 matching grant, but we need your help to unlock it. Every dollar you donate by December 23, 2024, will be doubled, amplifying the impact of your gift to support research, critical programs, and families affected by KAT6A and KAT6B. 👉 Donate today to help unlock the matching grant and make a tangible difference. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pkat6a.org/ Why is this cause personal to me? My daughter was born with KAT6B. She’s 3 years old and cannot sit, crawl, stand, walk, talk, or eat on her own. But every day, she works tirelessly to achieve these milestones—and we are committed to funding research that will one day make a difference for her and other children like her. Research is our best hope for progress, and together, we can create a future where these children have the opportunity to thrive. #GiveHope #KAT6Foundation #MatchingGrant #HolidayGiving #MakeADifference #ResearchMatters

To my mentors, friends, and community: Today, I’m reaching out with a humble request—not for myself, but for my kids at Life-Line Colorado. These young people are walking the same difficult path I once did, and now more than ever, they need our support. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gF76xfDs The science is clear: early intervention and community-based programs dramatically reduce youth recidivism. Research shows that young people who receive mentorship, education, and support are far less likely to return to criminal activity. In fact, according to studies by the U.S. Department of Justice, these types of interventions can lower recidivism rates by up to 40%. Life-Line Colorado is doing exactly that—offering a lifeline to youth at risk of being caught in this cycle. But this mission takes resources. I’m asking for your help. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word, your action can make a difference. You helped me, and now together, we can help them. With deep gratitude, Christian Andrade #Gratitude #YouthRecidivism #CommunitySupport #LifeLineColorado #Mentorship #GivingBack

In the U.S., 1 in 6 children faces abuse or neglect annually, a stark reminder of the widespread challenges affecting our youth. For these children, the effects extend beyond immediate harm, often leading to long-term issues like mental health struggles, trust issues, and social difficulties.

Our mission is to provide these organizations with the grant assistance they need to expand their reach and impact. If your nonprofit is committed to helping children affected by abuse, let’s partner to secure the funding necessary to make a difference.

YOU CAN HELP! For 325 days (and Counting) I've raised the alarm that youth 10 to 19 have no emergency #safe housing anywhere in Ocean or Monmouth County, NJ. CLCL Foundation has innovative solutions to address and end youth homelessness, plus supports for families, caregivers, and resource parents. As a former foster and adopted youth and teen runaway, I know how powerful interventions can be in creating better outcomes. You can help BE THE CHANGE by donating to the registered 501(c)(3), Choose love. Celebrate life. A Foundation for Youth and Families, Inc. Or joining the CLCL team to create evidence-based, trauma-informed, antiracist and inclusive programs. Only together can we have enough wisdom to do this is right way -- the better way. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pclclfoundation.org

In a world where so many foster youth feel unseen and vulnerable, your kindness can be the light that guides them out of the shadows. The impact of a small act whether it’s a donation, a kind word, or a moment of support can transform a life in ways we can’t always measure. But we know that every act of kindness counts. For youth vulnerable to trafficking, kindness is a beacon of hope. When you choose to support RAISE THE ROOF, you are doing so much more than donating money. You’re offering these young people the opportunity to rebuild their lives, to heal from trauma, and to find safety in a world that often leaves them behind. Your support provides not just shelter, but stability, love, and the chance to grow in a nurturing environment. Without a safe place, these vulnerable youth are easy targets for traffickers. But with your help, we can change that. Together, we can provide homes where these youth feel seen, heard, and valued. No act of kindness is too small. When we come together to support these young lives, we can create lasting change. Let’s be the reason they have the hope to dream again, the strength to heal, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. ➡️ Click the link below or in bio to donate gofund.me/8e690097 #GivingTuesday #RAISEtheRoof #MagdalenasDaughters #HopeForYouth #EndHumanTrafficking #Fosteryouth #Humantrafficking #Nonprofit

Exciting news in the philanthropy world! Renowned entrepreneur Dick Smith has made a generous commitment to donate his $300 energy rebate announced in the Federal Budget this week to the Salvation Army, urging fellow millionaires to follow suit. Dick Smith's message is clear and inspiring: "Not all of us need that money. There are millions of Australians that are doing OK. Donate the money to an important charity and that means the money won't be wasted." In a time where every little bit helps, this gesture of kindness demonstrates a powerful way to make a significant impact. This act of generosity can serve as a reminder of the impact we can have when we redirect resources to where they are most needed. So many Australian families, including kinship and foster care households face significant financial challenges daily. For carers, additional financial support really does go a long way, grants for the purchase of items for the children and young people in their care can mean the world, especially when the cost of living is so high. Through our fundraising at OzChild we can help with the costs of tutoring, counselling, car seats, and even prescription glasses for kids – practical items that make caring a little bit easier. But we can’t do that alone. No not-for-profit organisation can, we rely on the generosity of others to make it possible for us to help lighten the load for families. Let’s join forces to make a difference! I encourage everyone who can, to consider this impactful choice. Whether it’s a donation to the Salvation Army, OzChild or another charity close to your heart, let’s turn our rebates into a collective effort for good. #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #GivingBack #CommunitySupport
