The Transformative Justice Center provides services to the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated. 

Our mission is to advocate for transformative justice, emphasizing empathy and understanding as we work with those who have been incarcerated. We aim to break down the barriers of social stigma, creating a platform for personal growth and change. At the Transformative Justice Center, and our flagship prison program - Empathy in Action, we see past the person’s history and focus on their potential. By providing crucial support and resources, we aspire to drastically reduce recidivism and help individuals reclaim their lives. At its core, transformative justice works to transform relationships, institutions and systems historically founded in oppression, marginalization, and violence into ones grounded in restoration, respect, and responsibility.

We believe that everyone deserves a chance to be seen, heard, and understood regardless of background, race, class, socio-economic status, political or/and religious views. We know that most if not all people in prison come from painful, traumatic backgrounds, from victims to victimizers. We work to transform prison spaces into places focused on higher education, healing, whole body wellness, accountability and respect. We see that within every human being there exists the possibility to grow, to change, and to transform with the right tools and interventions. We are committed to building bridges being the public and our incarcerated community in order to learn, understand and humanize those most impacted by familial and societal harms.

At the core of our work, we believe in redemption, and that everyone deserves an opportunity to transform their lives. Our center is built on empathy and understanding, providing crucial resources and support to individuals who are navigating their way back to society after incarceration. We appreciate any form of support, small or large, to assist us on this journey towards healing, change, and rebuilding lives.

MISSION: We exist to ensure that children and young adults in the Mekong Sub-Region, affected by inequality, grow up to be healthy and have access to quality education and better employment opportunities. Everything we do enables them to live empowered and self-determined lives as equal and active members of society, with the potential to become responsible leaders of change.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

After many years in the financial industry, our founders - Marc and Daniel - abandoned their careers in order to help the underprivileged in our society. Without knowing what to expect, Child’s Dream was brought to life in October 2003 with the help of their close friends and family members. Both realised very soon that they had found new meaning in life and that they were able to put all of their newly gained motivation and endless energy into effective help for children in need.

As of February 2024 there have been 265,295 total direct beneficiaries been reached by ongoing projects. The total number of direct beneficiaries reached by past and ongoing projects is 1,308,329. As of February 2024 there have been 1,002 ongoing projects been supported. 

Child's Dream Theory of Change

Disadvantaged children and youth in Myanmar, Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Thailand encounter challenges in accessing and completing quality education, with disparities and inequalities persisting among different groups and regions. Alongside these educational challenges, health concerns such as limited healthcare access, insufficient health education, prevalent unsafe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) diseases, and maternal and child health issues vary across the countries. As a result, individuals are not able to foster the development of their countries and communities, perpetuating poverty and inequalities.

Fueling scientific advancement and hope for all impacted by brain inflammation through research, education, and partnership.

**Inflammation in your brain can strike at the very core of who you are— impacting how you think, feel, move, and act.** Brain inflammation, or neuroinflammation, occurs when the immune system’s inflammatory response affects the brain, nervous system, or spinal cord.

Inflammation, or the inflammatory process, is part of your immune system’s normal reaction to an illness, infection, or injury. It can be caused by viruses, infections, injuries, or even allergies. Inflammation typically resolves when the infection clears, the injury heals, or when you avoid contact with the allergen.

**For some people, this process triggers an endless loop of neuroinflammation and debilitating symptoms like:**

- **Extreme fatigue**
- **Brain fog**
- **Severe sleep issues**
- **Dramatic mood or behavior changes**
- **Depression**
- **Anxiety**
- **Panic attacks**
- **and more.**

These symptoms are often labeled as treatment-resistant mental health, behavioral, neurological, and systemic conditions, and they are frequently dismissed or misdiagnosed in typical healthcare settings. The relationship between brain inflammation and mental health is understudied and misunderstood.

**The Brain Inflammation Collaborative** is fueling the scientific advancement critically needed to inform better treatment options and care for brain inflammation.

People with neuroinflammation are shuffled from doctor to doctor, medication to medication, trapped in a cycle of debilitating symptoms, medical bills, medication side effects, and hopelessness. It can be overwhelming.

**We are here to help. But we can’t do it alone.**

Funding & trauma-informed therapy and healing resources for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA).

**The Let Go… Let Peace Come In Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) access the healing, trauma-informed therapy, and long-term support many were denied as children.**

Childhood sexual abuse is a global public-health crisis. Millions of adults in the U.S. alone—and hundreds of millions worldwide—are survivors. Many carry the weight of their trauma silently for decades, struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, isolation, relationship challenges, addiction, shame, dissociation, and suicidal thoughts. Most have never received the professional support they deserve.

Our mission is simple but urgent:
**Help survivors finally let go of the past and let peace into their lives.**

**Why Our Work Matters**

Most resources focus on prevention and early childhood intervention, but **adult survivors remain one of the most underserved populations in mental health care**. Many live with untreated trauma well into adulthood, affecting families, workplaces, and communities.

Your donation directly supports:

- **Trauma-informed therapy** for adult survivors
- **Recovery and support programs** led by trained clinicians
- **Awareness initiatives** that break the silence and reduce stigma
- **Global outreach** providing resources to survivors in over 160 countries
- **Groundbreaking research** with the **Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health** to better understand long-term trauma and develop more effective healing models

Every contribution helps survivors reclaim their lives.

**A Mission Rooted in Lived Experience**

The Foundation was created by **Peter S. Pelullo**, a business leader, music-industry entrepreneur, and survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Peter’s memoir, *Betrayal and the Beast*, and his national media appearances have helped thousands begin their own healing journeys.

Peter has been interviewed across major news networks—including **ABC, CNN, HLN, CBS**, and others—bringing the realities of survivor trauma into public awareness. His efforts played a role in national conversations surrounding high-profile abuse cases, encouraging more survivors to come forward and seek support.

**Awareness Through Media & Partnerships**

We believe healing requires visibility, empathy, and community. To raise awareness, the Foundation collaborates with advocates, clinicians, and public figures. In partnership with Universal Republic Records, **Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray** recorded a tribute song supporting survivors and encouraging them to step out of silence.

These media initiatives help survivors feel seen, understood, and less alone—often for the first time.

**Global Reach & Lasting Impact**

The Foundation’s digital presence has reached survivors in:

- **All 50 U.S. states**
- **Over 160 countries**
- **More than 40 languages**

We hear from survivors, partners, children of survivors, and families across the world. Many share their stories through our “Survivors Share” program—anonymously or openly—to help others find strength and hope.

**How Your Donation Makes a Difference**

Your gift enables:

- **Free or subsidized therapy sessions**
- **Survivor outreach and care coordination**
- **Educational materials for families & communities**
- **Development of trauma-recovery programs**
- **Funding for research with Johns Hopkins**
- **Production of awareness campaigns**
- **Global survivor-support resources**

Even small contributions fund life-changing support for adults who have suffered in silence for decades.

**You can help someone finally begin to heal.**
**Thank you for standing with survivors.**

LilyPads Housing provides free lodging, meals, and comfort to families caring for children at UVA Children’s Hospital.

About LilyPads Housing

Every child deserves a caregiver by their side — especially when they’re in the hospital. But for far too many families, the cost of meals, lodging, and daily essentials can become an overwhelming burden during an already devastating time.

At **LilyPads**, we believe no family should have to choose between financial strain and staying close to their child.

That’s why we provide **free lodging, warm meals, essential supplies, comfort items, and community support** to families with children receiving medical care at UVA Children’s Hospital in Charlottesville, VA.

Our Mission

To offer **comfort and care** to every family navigating the unthinkable — so they can focus on what matters most: their child’s healing.

We do this through:

- **Free overnight lodging** with volunteer host families 
- **Meal assistance** via grocery cards, meals, and snack bags
- **Our Care Cart**, delivering daily essential and comfort items to inpatient families — from toothpaste to cozy socks to sibling activity kits
- **Connection and community**, offering emotional support, resources, and dignity during crisis
- **Hope in action**, creating moments of joy like holiday surprises, birthday boxes, and craft kits

Everything we do is powered by the kindness of volunteers, donors, host families, and partner organizations who believe that love can change lives — one family at a time.

Your Impact

- $25 provides snacks and comfort items for one hospital room
- $50 covers a week’s worth of grocery support for a parent bedside
- $100 houses a family for a night near the hospital
- $500 stocks the Care Cart for a full day of visits
- $1,000 covers a **week of care** for multiple families in crisis

Every donation — big or small — sends a powerful message: *you matter, and you’re not alone.* 

Why LilyPads Was Started

Our founder's family has spent much time at UVA Children’s Hospital (and Boston Children's Hospital) when their daughter, Lily, was little and fighting for her life. The medical care was excellent — but the days were long, the nights were sleepless, and the costs piled up fast. They often felt like they were alone and drowning.

That’s where the seed for LilyPads was planted.

They wondered, *what if there was a better way?*
What if families had a soft place to land — a real bed, a warm meal, someone to say, “Hey, you’re not alone”?

LilyPads was born out of that question. Out of the memory of sleeping upright in a hospital chair. Out of the hope that no parent would ever again have to choose between being with their child and affording a place to sleep.

The name LilyPads comes from the way lily pads float in stillness, giving aquatic life a place to rest, above the water. That’s what we offer families: a soft place to land, full of love and care.

Join Our Village

At LilyPads, we believe care is a community effort — a village built on kindness, compassion, and the belief that no one should face crisis alone.

By joining our village, you help create a world where:

- Parents can stay close to their child without worrying about where they’ll sleep.
- Hospital rooms feel less like waiting spaces and more like places of comfort.
- Siblings are remembered, caregivers are supported, and families feel the warmth of community.

Your generosity — whether it’s $10, $100, or simply sharing our story — becomes a lifeline. A reminder that behind every hospital door, there’s a village surrounding them with love.

**Give comfort. Share hope. Be part of our village.**
With you, we can make sure every family has a soft place to land.

Creating communities of compassionate care to transform difficult emotional experiences into opportunities for learning & growth.

Challenging or intense emotional experiences can be moments of profound insight, healing, and transformation. But they can also be disorienting, isolating, and overwhelming. In these moments, having access to compassionate support and culturally attuned care can make all the difference.

Zendo Project offers peer-based emotional support at events and provides educational resources to individuals, communities, and organizations. Our aim is to help people navigate complexity with greater resilience, care, and self-awareness. Through grounding, presence, and connection, we reduce potential harms and create space for learning, repair, and deeper relationships with self and others.

Supporters like you are essential to making this work possible. In a world where distress is often met with fear or force, our mission is to ensure that people in vulnerable states are met with compassion instead. Your contribution helps us continue to offer trauma-informed, non-judgmental care, and to create environments where all people can feel supported, seen, and safe—especially in moments when they need it most.

You can help us find, treat and rehabilitate another woman restoring her health, dignity and future.

There are around 30,000 women in Ethiopia living with devastating childbirth injuries called obstetric fistula, because they don't know help is available. An estimated 1,000 women suffer a new fistula injury every year. Catherine’s trailblazing **Hamlin Model of Care** - today replicated around the world - finds, treats and holistically heals these women, restoring their lives.

Women living with childbirth injuries suffer great trauma. Following obstructed labour, they are left incontinent and usually lose their baby. They are shunned from their community and live hidden not knowing help available.

In a single year, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia treats more than 6,000 patients and perform more than 2,000 surgeries.

We also provide counseling and a range of vocational training to support nearly 1,000 women in their recovery. A woman's healing journey starts the moment she arrives at a Hamlin fistula hospital. She is given a Comfort Package containing a Hamlin blanket that has been lovingly made by a volunteer, hygiene items, a new nightgown and slippers, and a homecoming dress.

These are utter luxuries for the many women who arrive at a Hamlin hospital without shoes, wearing the only stained clothes they own. When they wrap themselves in their Hamlin blanket, they feel the warm embrace of people like you.

$45 provides a Comfort Package for one woman
$90 provides two women with a Comfort Package
$1,000 covers the cost of surgery for a woman with simple obstetric fistula
$3,000 covers the cost of surgery for a woman with complex obstetric fistula

Your gift has a life-changing impact by restoring a woman's dignity. Thank you for supporting women as they reassert their humanity, secure their health and well-being, and regain their roles in their families and communities.

Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia's work is centered in Ethiopia, a country with one of the highest fertility and maternal mortality rates in the world. Our vision is simple: To eradicate obstetric fistula. Forever.

For more than six decades, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia has implemented our world-recognized approach to the holistic treatment of women and girls with obstetric fistulas — severe injuries resulting from prolonged, unrelieved and obstructed labor, typically in the absence of skilled birth attendants.

In 93% of cases, the mother suffers not only dramatic tissue damage, but she also loses her new baby. Nerve damage and weakened pelvic muscles make many daily tasks unmanageable. And, women are also often ostracized from their communities – cut off from avenues to leading a full, healthy and happy life.

The Hamlin Model of Care – The World's Leading Approach to Treating Obstetric Fistula

Dr Catherine Hamlin pioneered an approach to treating obstetric fistula, including developing a new surgical technique, that dramatically changes the lives of women and girls — in some cases in no more than an hour.

The Hamlin Model of Care is unique because it is not just about repairing injury, but restoring dignity. Hamlin's Rehabilitation and Reintegration Program at Desta Mender offers counseling, literacy and numeracy classes. Additional programs for vocational and life skills training help women find sustainable employment or establish their own small businesses. Today, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia is staffed by more than 550 Ethiopian medical professionals and five regional hospitals have been established to respond to the significant demand for fistula surgery.

To accelerate change for women in Ethiopia, our Project Zero teams will go from door-to-door, in every Woreda (district) to identify women living with historic fistula cases and organize care and treatment. At the same time, we will strengthen maternal healthcare services, to reduce the incidence of birth injuries, and increase awareness, so women have the tools and knowledge they need to give birth safely. Lasting change for women and girls requires building a workforce of skilled birth attendants. Through our Hamlin College of Midwives, we recruit women from rural communities in Ethiopia to learn the Hamlin Model of Care during a four-year Bachelor of Science in Midwifery program.  The curriculum is fully certified and includes the precondition that students conduct at least 40 deliveries before they graduate. Upon graduation, Hamlin midwives return to their villages – today staffing over 90 rural midwifery clinics in remote areas.

A community based mobile haircare unit proudly serving Tucson, AZ. 

At Serve Society, we are dedicated to creating lasting change within the Tucson community by providing no-cost haircare services to individuals facing homelessness, those in recovery, and other underserved populations. Our mission goes beyond just offering haircuts—we aim to foster a sense of dignity and belonging, empowering individuals to feel confident and supported as they rebuild their lives.

Since our inception, we’ve worked tirelessly to build partnerships with local recovery programs and shelters, offering mobile services that meet people where they are. Our team of professional volunteers brings compassion and skill to every event, knowing that even the smallest acts of service can have a profound impact.

Every donation you make helps sustain our mobile unit and enables us to expand our reach, ensuring that those who need it most receive not only haircare but the hope that comes with being seen and cared for. With your support, we can continue to serve more individuals, provide opportunities for barbers to give back, and create a ripple effect of kindness throughout the community. Your donation isn’t just about a haircut; it’s about creating moments of empowerment, confidence, and connection. Together, we are helping individuals take the next step toward a brighter future.

Serve Society

Organized volunteers providing outreach to unhoused folks with urgent relief: warmth, food, humanity, and  connection to services.

Town Bizness exists to bring the necessities of a dignified human life to the unhoused population of Oakland and Berkeley, CA. 
These necessities include good food, reliable shelter, clothing, toiletries, bedding, and basic creature comforts such as safe propane stoves and heaters, radios, and more, depending on each client’s needs. 

We also assist with housing, and keeping folks connected to service providers by supplying telephones and monthly service. 

The majority of folks we serve were born where they now live in tents, and once had property ownership in their families here in the bay area, but no longer do. Most are seniors, and many of them are now sick and/or disabled.

UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, over 80% of our students selected through UWC's national committee receive a scholarship. This support allows UWC to continue selecting students based on their potential and merit, regardless of their race, gender or financial means.

Most UWC national committees across the globe are run by volunteers. With selection activities in over 150 countries and territories, this volunteer network identifies promising young students, many of whom would never otherwise have access to a transformative UWC education.

**Why Support UWC**

UWC is committed to making its life-changing education accessible to students from all backgrounds. Scholarships ensure that financial circumstances never prevent talented students from attending.

Your support helps sustain UWC’s mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Donations from alumni, individuals, foundations, companies, and governments make it possible for UWC to continue this work.

*"A UWC scholarship is a great investment in society. We are developing a global community of leaders who are aware of the world’s needs, steeped in the nuances and dynamics of international and intercultural cooperation and equipped with the mindset, skills, sense of agency and the global network to make a tangible difference in the world."* - **Faith Abiodun, Executive Director of UWC International**

If you are a **US taxpayer**, you can donate to any UWC institution by clicking “**Donate**” above and specifying your intended recipient (School, College, National Committee or Campaign) under “*Add a note for UWC International"*.

If you are not a US taxpayer, you can also donate via [uwc.org/donate](https://uwc.org/donate).

Mutual aid organization supporting neighbors in Washington DC, Ward 2.

What is Mutual Aid?

**Mutual aid is “cooperation for the sake of the common good.” It’s getting people to come together to meet each other’s needs, recognizing that as humans, our survival is dependent on one another.**

Mutual Aid is a practice and politics that emphasizes solidarity rather than charity. It means we recognize that our well-being, health and dignity are all bound up in each other. It means that we understand our survival depends on cooperation, not competition. In this particular moment, we see that our health is also dependent on other people’s health, and we can literally save each other’s lives. Rather than disengage and feel powerless, mutual aid allows us to plug in where we can make the most impact — locally.

Mutual aid IS...

- Getting people together in your community to provide material support to each other
- Building relationships with your neighbors based on trust and common interest
- Making decisions by consensus rather than relying on authority and hierarchy
- Sharing things rather than hoarding things
- Treating no one as disposable
- Providing all kinds of support, ranging from food prep to childcare to translation to emotional support, and recognizing the value of all of them
- A political education opportunity, where we build the relationships and analysis to understand why we are in the conditions that we're in
- Preparation for the next disaster (natural or economic). Next time around we'll already have relationships with each other and know who is vulnerable and needs support
- A great jumping off point for other kinds of organizing and movement work

Mutual aid IS NOT...

- Quid pro quo transactions
- Only for disasters or crises
- Charity or a way to "save" people
- A reason for a social safety net not to exist

DC Mutual Aid Network

The DC Mutual Aid Network (DCMA) is a grassroots community-led effort looking to take care of each other and keep our city as safe as possible.

- DCMA is a decentralized, community-led effort, so there is no single group that runs the network.
- There are autonomous groups for Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Wards 7 & 8 are served together by one group.
- The DCMA Network is governed by the ward groups on topics of social media, website, fundraising, etc. The groups also share resources, best practices and offer referrals to other groups.

Ward 2 Efforts

Ward 2 Mutual Aid is part of the larger DCMA Network. Our concrete activities are:

- **Hotline** - Volunteers staff our warmline, where Ward 2 residents can call and request assistance.
- **Groceries** - We provide a grocery bag delivery to ~150 families that request it through our hotline or building captains. The bags include fresh produce, protein, dry goods, and requested household items.
- **Encampment Outreach** - We organize a supply drop to ~120 unhoused neighbors.
- **Building captains** - We organize with local residents to utilize their leadership and relational networks. Building captains check on neighbors, relay needs, and assist with food donations and distribution.
- **Back to school** - We organize with local parents to host a book and clothing swap.
- **Support for high risk/immuno-compromised individuals** - We have been partnering with local public housing buildings to drop off cleaning supplies, masks, and groceries.
