Turn "Me" into "We"


ReaLife Communities
 It’s about:
         Community
         Neighborhoods
         Resources
         Training
         Mentoring
         Restoration
         Redistribution

The Story:
In my neighborhood, I learned over the last two years there are homeless families. I learned there are families that are hungry & don't have money for food. I learned that middle school girls are subjected into forced prostitution by teenage boys.

Were do I live? Not LA, not New York not Chicago or the Philippines or some third world country. I live in Vancouver, Washington. Yes, it's happening in my neighborhood, but I can't do anything about it. I need “you” to help “me” become
‘WE.”

We can end homelessness in our Community. We can end hunger in our Community. We can end sexual trafficking, yes, in OUR Community. We are better together than We are alone.

These issues are a reality in Vancouver and in particular in our own Hazel Dell Community. But we can do something about it.

A two-year dream is about to become reality. Many organizations, non-profits, and churches are coming together to unite as one to make a difference in Clark County: Real Life in Hazel Dell.

Here’s how you can help:
