Dear Rise Readers,

In this season of family togetherness, please support Rise.

Each day in December, we'll feature parents and professionals who use Rise to strengthen their work and lives.

Here's what some parents and professionals have to say aboutRise:

"I was up the whole night, just reading all the stories. It felt good to know that there were other people going through what I went through."

- Deidre Warthen, parent

"Rise helped deepen and broaden my understanding of the experiences of parents in the child welfare system. The more that we keep parents' perspectives in front of us, the better we'll be at this very, very difficult work."

- John Mattingly, former NYC child welfare commissioner

"We want to learn from the experiences of the parents that we serve. The Rise writing group at Graham Windham will give us a real opportunity to understand how parents experience our work with them and reflect on what we do well and what we can improve."

- Jess Dannhauser, Graham Windham president and CEO

Rise offers hope and peer guidance to thousands of parents nationwide who are working to repair their family lives.

Rise also guides professionals in making the child welfare system more humane to families in crisis.

For 9 years, Rise has had an outsize impact on child welfare--and on families in need--despite a shoestring budget. Any donation, from $10 to $10,000, will make a difference.
