RaiseUp Families set out on a JOURNEY with client, Stephanie, last month. We checked back in with her last week to see how she is doing in our program! #RUFJourney #RaiseUpFamilies

Did you know that we are not only changing the lives of families today but for the future? We teach families how to make smart financial decisions and create positive modeling for their children to learn from!
Bouncing from one school to another can impair a child’s education and social development. RaiseUp Families is committed to not only helping families achieve financial stability but also ensuring the stability of their child’s education.
Last week RaiseUp Families launched our own, "Motivational Mondays" specifically tailored to our clients. Our signature 9-Month Hand Up program requires A LOT of work on their part, so we want to do our part to keep them going.
This week's message is inspired by our friend, Jon Sanchez: All you have to do it make it to the next meal. If you can't make it to the next meal, make it to the next hour. If you can't make it to the next hour, just make it to the next minute. And if you can't make it to the next minute, make it to the next moment.
One major thing we help to teach our families is budgeting and saving. Whether you are saving money for rent, college tuition, or the holidays, check out our savings calculator to figure out how to start your savings today.
