    The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives

    Russel M. Nelson

    RISE was founded in 2001 by Padre Luis and Madre Mari.

    They saw a need to provide a safe and loving home to children living on the street or in unsafe environments.

    Since then, RISE has been home to hundreds of children. Some live there for months and others for years. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on children and families who have experienced unfortunate circumstances.
