Rising With Red
About Rising With Red Foundation
Founded by Bailey Ray, Rising With Red Foundation is a non-profit transforming personal survival into a vital community lifeline. As fierce advocates for domestic violence victims, trauma survivors, and mental health awareness, we empower survivors, protect children, and offer immediate, barrier free aid to families facing crisis. Our mission is rooted in the belief that healing should never be gated by financial barriers, and we are committed to ensuring no one has to heal or fight alone.
Through our comprehensive programs including free weekly peer support groups, specialized art therapy initiatives, and rapid crisis relief services, we create safe spaces for processing deep trauma and abuse. Our signature W.A.R. Project (Wren & Rebecca's War on Water) brings life-saving water safety education to Arizona classrooms, while our crisis response network distributes essential aid to displaced families rebuilding their lives from crisis.
If you would like to help us continue our work and support our initiatives, you can donate conveniently via Venmo at @RisingWithRed, Cash app @RisingWithRed or through Zelle using Bailey.Ray@risingwithred.com Your generosity enables us to fund essential programs and reach more people who need our assistance.
