RaiseUp Families

With your support, last year RaiseUp Families served 76 families – that's 91 adults and 148 children. Families like Tianca, a single mom, and her two kids. Tianca was working a 9 to 5 job but struggling to get by. After just two months in the RaiseUp Families HandUp program, she got a new job with more benefits. Now, Tianca has paid down debt and started a savings account for herself and both of her children. Above all, Tianca says she feels happy she's able to spend more time with her children without the stress of wondering how to pay bills. Success stories like Tianca's are little victories with big impact we witness every day. #RaiseUpFamilies #Houston #HoustonTexas #HoustonNonprofit #HoustonFamilies #VolunteerHouston #Nonprofit #Volunteer #FinancialAssistance

Graduates of our HandUp Program are rewriting their stories with resilience and success! Briana, a single mom and city auditor, came to RaiseUp Families after a car accident and home fire left her displaced and financially overwhelmed. With support from our program, she found stability and continues to build a brighter future for her family. #HandUpSuccess #RaiseUpFamilies #Houston #HoustonTexas #HoustonNonprofit #HoustonFamilies #VolunteerHouston #Nonprofit #Volunteer #FinancialAssistance (Photo by Sai de Silva)

For some families, ‘home’ was a place filled with worry until they found their footing. Porche, a single mom of two (including a son with autism), ended a long-term relationships and moved back home with her mother in early 2023. Determined to build a stable future, she pursed an MBA in Healthcare Management and – by summer – secured housing for her family. Porche's journey is one of rediscovered self-sufficiency. #RaiseUpFamilies #Houston #HoustonTexas #HoustonNonprofit #HoustonFamilies #VolunteerHouston #Nonprofit #Volunteer #FinancialAssistance
