Dear Family and Friends,

I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones smiling and well this holiday season! I am writing to you to ask for your help.

For the last two years, I have been volunteering with R.O.C. ERA; a 501(c)(3) charitable organization designed to enrich, empower, and invest in at-risk youth in vulnerable communities through art, fitness, and mentorship. They offer services and resources to children of color who live in marginalized communities.

Recently, the Founder of R.O.C. ERA, Aurianna Tuttle and Co-Founder, Jessika Jones acquired a house in Long Beach, CA. This house will be a haven for those enrolled in the program. It will offer restorative and preventive programming with a hyper-focus on addressing critical youth development, disrupting adolescent health and safety behaviors, and facilitating family bonding and engagement. On top of this, the ROC House will provide emergency and temporary shelter to children and their families who live in vulnerable communities and are enrolled in R.O.C. ERA.

I am starting a GoFundMe to help R.O.C. ERA make their new house a home. Your contribution will help them purchase items for their nursery, such as cribs, living room and bedroom furniture, a refrigerator, washer and dryer, sporting and fitness equipment, rent payments, and hygienic necessities. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. If there is an item you would like to donate personally, please get in touch with me, and I would be more than happy to assist you. No amount is too little, and if you are unable to donate, I completely understand. Please feel free to pass this message along to anyone you know. The more help, the better!

It has been an honor to be part of the R.O.C. Era family. The team and the kids have a big piece of my heart and continue inspiring me. I am incredibly thankful for all your love, support, and donations.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and energy.

Warmly,

Gabby Lane
