Alyssa for Village Reach

Some of you will remember my birthday fundraiser last year was to support my daughter and the incredible nonprofit she works with called Village Reach. We are both so grateful for your support as she couldn’t do what she does without a supportive community standing behind her.

You may remember I said this about Village Reach, “What I like so much about the organization is that they don't go into poor villages and tell people what they need. Instead they actually listen to the people there and then champion a local visionary to see their dream for positive change to completion.”

She is now working with Village Reach in a full-time capacity (still remote) and she’s pioneered some impactful works like…

• The Village Reach Ambassador Program - to help people share about the cause within their networks

• Dream Team Meetings - where the dreamers they serve and the VR team comes together monthly to encourage one another

• a fresh new website - she updated all the writing and refined the navigational structure 

• a new T-shirt design - created for a Student Leadership Retreat, their first project in their new location in Colombia

She also continues to bring in new support for the organization and keeps the existing donor base active and engaged through regular email newsletters, social media posts, LinkedIn articles, and individualized communications.

Thanks in part to Alyssa generously volunteering her time and expertise, Village Reach has been able to help their dreamers achieve major goals like…

• Renovating the Youth Development Center in Cambodia (think new paint, better mattresses, installing water filters, and more!)

• Building a new classroom in Cambodia - the new classroom brought in more students and teachers which helps the village to prosper

• Starting a Student Leadership Retreat in Colombia - they ignited the dreams and ambition of the youth in an area that suffers under drug and human trafficking

Village Reach is growing thanks to people like you who have so graciously donated, specifically as private sponsors, to cover their admin and operating costs like Alyssa’s salary. Which means Village Reach is now able to compensate Alyssa 20% of her target goal.

That’s where this campaign comes in. Alyssa is aiming to be fully funded in her role by her birthday in March 2023. For that we need 35 people willing to give just $50/month on a recurring basis.

Whether you can give $3 or $300, it all goes to an amazing cause and helps my daughter do this work she is called to do!

As she stands by the people they serve, will you stand by her?

It takes a village, but it starts with one.
