  • L.O.V.E. - Letters of Valuable Encouragement logo
    Thank you for your interest in our L.O.V.E Program. We are excited to offer this program and feel it is just what our families need as they go through their own personal struggles. Most of our families lack a supportive network of people who lift them up. Words are powerful and we believe a simple letter of encouragement can have an impact on the lives of the families we serve. 

    "Encouragement is like water to the soul; it makes everything grow." -Chris Burkmenn

    To be successful in our program and in life, we believe you must surround yourself with people who will encourage you to be the best that you can be; people who believe in you and want to see you succeed. Receiving a letter of encouragement can make all the difference between a parent persevering or giving up. Having people in your corner, cheering for your success is so important.

    Our L.O.V.E. program will match you with a family who is striving to become just that –a better version of who they were the day before. We are excited to have you as a part of this invaluable program and look forward to seeing the difference it makes in the lives of all who participate. Making a difference in someone’s life is the best gift you can give yourself! Thank you for being a source of encouragement for our families.

In Support of RaiseUp Families
RaiseUp Families stabilizes parents from vulnerable communities who face unexpected financial crises so their children can focus on their education, giving them the opportunity for a better life. These families live paycheck to paycheck and have fallen behind in rent due to an unexpected financial crisis. 
 
Our mission is to stabilize families in their homes before an eviction occurs, then provide them with skills and resources to become self-sufficient so their children can focus on their education, giving them the opportunity for a better life. Established in 1994 as Westside Homeless Prevention (and later known as Westside Homeless Partnership), RUF’s founders completed 2 years of research on how best to create life-long stability.
