Become a Sponsor for 10 months!
Rise Above Defeat exists for moments like this.
Your sponsorship allows young individuals to receive the mental health care, life-coaching, and emotional support they need to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.

💛 Why Sponsor a Youth?
Many of the youth we work with turn 18 and age out of foster care and often time the support doesn’t continue — it disappears.
No family. No safety net. No guidance. Just survival.
Many of the young people we serve carry deep pain from:
-
Childhood abuse
-
Neglect and abandonment
-
Exploitation and trafficking
-
Years of instability and broken trust
-
Without mental health support, these youth are at high risk of homelessness, substance use, re-victimization, and incarceration.
Your Sponsorship Means:
-
They are not alone anymore
-
They receive consistent emotional support
-
They learn how to cope, heal, and rebuild
-
They are guided into adulthood with dignity instead of fear
-
You’re not just funding a service.
You are becoming part of their healing story.
Because Everyone Deserves:
-
To feel safe
-
To be heard
-
To be supported
-
To believe their future is still possible
