Rising Hearts Alliance

This April, I’m taking on the April Pickleball 10-Day Challenge—and I’d love your support. My goal is to play pickleball on 10 different days during the month of April. It’s a fun challenge, a great way to stay active, and an excuse to spend more time on the court. But more importantly, I’m doing it to support [CAUSE / ORGANIZATION NAME]. Why this cause matters to me: [Share a short personal reason here—a connection to the mission, a recent experience, or why you care.] Every day I play, I’ll be thinking about the impact this cause has and how even small actions can add up to something meaningful. Whether you donate $10, $25, or simply help spread the word, your support helps turn this challenge into real impact. If you’d like, you can also: • Donate in support of my challenge • Share this page with friends or family • Join the challenge and play alongside me Thanks for cheering me on—both on and off the court. Let’s make April a month of movement, community, and impact.

My name is Lucas Botteri, and I am asking for your help for families in Louisiana who have been devastated by recent floods. I have seen how quickly lives can be upended when homes are damaged, livelihoods are lost, and the daily comforts families rely on disappear. I am partnering with Rising Hearts Alliance because they move quickly to meet urgent needs and then stay to help families rebuild with dignity and hope. Rising Hearts Alliance provides emergency financial aid, emotional wellness resources, and community-based care. That means money for temporary housing and repairs, groceries and basic supplies, and counselors and community support that ease the heavy strain of recovery. When a family loses more than possessions, they can lose confidence and direction. The Alliance helps restore both practical stability and the emotional strength people need to move forward. I started this fundraiser because I believe small acts of care add up to real change. Your gift will go directly to families working to recover from flood damage, to pay for immediate needs and to support the long road back to stability. Every contribution helps a parent put food on the table, a child return to a safe room, and a neighbor find the resources they need to rebuild. Please join me in supporting Rising Hearts Alliance and the families of Louisiana. Donate today to provide urgent relief, steady support, and a chance for these families to rise again.

My name is Pablo Forgaral and I am starting this fundraiser because I cannot sit by while families in Louisiana struggle to recover from devastating floods. This is a fkn test, but the need is very real. I want to turn frustration into action and do something tangible to help neighbors rebuild their lives. The funds raised will go to Rising Hearts Alliance, an organization that stands with families in crisis by providing emergency financial aid, emotional wellness resources, and community-based care. When floodwaters take homes, jobs, and security, families need more than a roof; they need stable support, access to food and housing help, and someone to walk with them through the hardest days. I believe that when a community rallies, we can help people move from survival toward stability. Your donation will help Rising Hearts Alliance offer immediate relief and longer-term resources so families can recover, heal, and rebuild with dignity and hope. Please join me in supporting Louisiana families today. Every gift makes a difference and brings real comfort and practical support at a critical time.

My reason for starting this fundraiser is simple: testing. Even though my note is short, my heart is full of hope for families who are struggling. I believe everyone deserves a chance to stand back up after a crisis, and I want to do something real to help them find solid ground. Rising Hearts Alliance supports families in crisis with emergency financial aid, emotional wellness resources, and community-based care. They walk alongside people facing housing instability, food insecurity, and overwhelming stress, offering practical help and encouragement so families can recover and rebuild. I trust their compassionate approach and the real difference they make in people’s lives. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping neighbors get the immediate help they need and the long-term support that leads to stability. Whether it is a hot meal, a rent payment that prevents eviction, or counseling that restores hope, your gift helps families rise. Please join me in supporting Rising Hearts Alliance. Any contribution brings comfort and a concrete step toward recovery for a family in need. Thank you for standing with me and for helping families rebuild brighter futures.

My name is Lucas Botteri and I am raising funds to support families devastated by the recent floods in Louisiana. Seeing homes washed away, possessions lost, and neighbors displaced has been heartbreaking. I could not stand by and do nothing, so I partnered with Rising Hearts Alliance to offer immediate, meaningful help to those who need it most. Rising Hearts Alliance provides emergency financial aid, emotional wellness resources, and community-based care to families facing crisis. Your donation will help cover essentials like temporary housing, food, clean-up supplies, and mental health support so families can begin to recover and rebuild. These are not abstract needs; they are the difference between a family finding shelter tonight or facing uncertainty and fear. I believe in the power of community to lift people up. When we come together, even small gifts add up to real change: a place to sleep, a hot meal, a week of counseling, or funds to replace vital belongings. Rising Hearts Alliance has a clear track record of walking alongside families through every step of their recovery, and your contribution goes directly toward that work. Please join me in supporting Louisiana families today. Give what you can to help restore safety, stability, and hope—your kindness will reach people who urgently need it and remind them they are not alone.
