Help Us Distribute “Hope for the Holidays”Life-Changing Film

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

Some journeys begin with loss — but lead to something beautiful.

After losing my mother to cancer in 2009, I struggled deeply. It took years of healing, reflection, and rediscovering joy through childhood memories — toys, comics, and community service. That healing turned into purpose. Around that time, I met someone whose heart matched mine: Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service.

What began as two strangers on separate missions quickly became a brotherhood rooted in compassion and service. Together, we’ve traveled to all 50 states, not for vacation, but to visit families of children with disabilities, special needs, and those battling life-threatening illnesses. Dressed as superheroes, we brought smiles, love, and moments of hope to kids who needed it most — especially during the holidays. All of these special moments were captured by the great Nate “Natflix “ Cribari .

That journey is now captured in our powerful new documentary: Hope for the Holidays.

This film takes you behind the scenes of our mission — the miles, the laughter, the tears, and most of all, the families whose strength inspired us at every stop. It’s a film about showing up for others. It’s about reminding the world that kindness still exists.

But to bring this film to the world, we need your help.

Now, we’re seeking to raise $8,000 to cover the final legal filings and distribution costs so this message of hope can reach classrooms, living rooms, and hearts around the globe.

This is more than a documentary — it’s a mission of love, brotherhood, and service. And we believe it can inspire people to do good in their own communities.

Whether you can give $5 or $500, every donation brings us closer to spreading the light we’ve experienced firsthand. We have until August 24th to raise the funds in order to try and get this film out by December 2025. 

As a special thank you, every person who donates will have their name placed on our official “Nice List” — and featured in the credits of the film. Your kindness deserves to be celebrated!

Please donate, share, and help us deliver “Hope for the Holidays” to the world.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

With gratitude,

Yuri / Nate / Rodney
