tout perdre en un instant est catastrophique, et il faut réagir très vite. Cela me touche beaucoup de savoir les gens dans la peine. Malheureusement je ne peux pas faire plus, mais ce sera chaque mois. Merci à tous ceux qui apporte leur aide et grand courage à tous pour vous reconstruire💖🙋‍♀️

Aubrey and his teams have a history of making biorejuvenation breakthroughs that lay the groundwork for future anti-aging therapies that will someday save billions of lives. They tackle the intractable bits of aging, bits that are too speculative or longterm or unprofitable for venture capital. I’m proud to support LEVF and Aubrey and their work to defeat aging.

Fighting diseases of old age is one of the most important things there is.

I stand with writers and actors and support staff!!

I gave to sponsor the online and in person retreat ministry of Rev. Dave.  His teachings each week are inspiring and guide my practice so much.

Aging is the biggest common enemy of all of us.

Supporting the Palisades rebuild, and building a model for all disaster communities


Team Palisades grew out of borrowed corners and improvised meeting rooms. In the weeks after the January 2025 fire, neighbors found each other on glitchy Zoom calls, over cups of coffee in local shops, and squeezed into borrowed spaces around town. Out of those small, determined encounters came a shared conviction: that recovery would be stronger if it was built by the community itself, with many voices and many hands at the table.

That spirit took root one Saturday in March, when a group of Palisades residents gathered at Team Molly’s space. World Central Kitchen served us a hot meal, and between bites we began sketching out what support could look like—block by block, family by family, and business by business. What started as conversation around folding tables has since grown into a living framework for rebuilding: block captains connecting neighbors, volunteers stepping forward with skills and time, and a widening circle of partners committed to our long-term recovery.

We’ve come far since those first tentative meetings, but our work is still just beginning. Team Palisades welcomes new energy, new ideas, and new neighbors every day. Whether you join as a volunteer, a partner, or simply as a voice in the conversation, you are part of writing the next chapter of our community. This is the essence of our work: neighbors helping neighbors, not just to restore what was lost, but to create a Palisades that is stronger, more connected, and more welcoming than ever before.

Eliminating obstacles on the path to the comprehensive medical control of aging and age-related disease.

Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation exists to conduct and inspire research to proactively identify and address the most challenging obstacles on the path to the widespread availability of comprehensively effective treatments to prevent and reverse human age-related disease.

Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation

National human services organization. Our mission is to foster stability and resiliency, and provide a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals over their lifespan.

Founded in 1882, we serve all professionals—and not just actors—in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance through programs that address our community's unique and essential needs.

Employment in any division of the performing arts and entertainment industry is unpredictable. Work is erratic, security is fleeting and health insurance is often just a dream. For all of these reasons and many more, The Actors Fund is an indispensable and deeply significant part of the entire entertainment community.

As a national organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, we directly serve thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the country every year, in person and via our online resources. Our programs are wide in scope, responsive in nature and produce significant results.

Administration of Resources & Choices is a nonprofit organization based in Tucson, AZ. It received its nonprofit status in 1997.

**A.R.C. – Administration of Resources and Choices**

**Founded:** 1988
**Founder:** Kay White
**Headquarters:** Tucson, Arizona
**Executive Director:** Debbie Chandler

**A.R.C.** was established in 1988 in Tucson, Arizona, by Kay White in response to the urgent needs of elderly individuals in crisis—particularly those facing emotional, financial, or physical abuse. Many of these individuals were unable to access community resources due to physical, mental, or social challenges. The organization was created to fill this critical gap in elder care and protection.

Over time, A.R.C. expanded its mission to address broader issues of **housing stability and financial empowerment**. Following the 2008 financial crisis, under the leadership of Executive Director Debbie Chandler, A.R.C. began serving individuals and families facing foreclosure and economic hardship. With support from the Arizona Department of Housing, it became a **HUD-Certified Housing Counseling Agency**, offering services such as:

- Foreclosure prevention
- Reverse mortgage counseling
- Homebuyer education
- Financial literacy programs

In **2010**, A.R.C. opened offices in **Phoenix**, extending its services to Maricopa County and eventually statewide. Today, it is recognized nationally for its work in housing counseling and elder protection.

A.R.C. remains a **501(c)(3) nonprofit** and an **Arizona Qualified Charitable Organization**, continuing its dual mission of supporting **vulnerable elders** and promoting **housing stability** across Arizona.

Headquartered in New York City, Aspies For Social Success, AFSS is a peer-run organization that provides support and social groups, as well as cultural events, to adults 18 and over who have either been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome or an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), believe they might be on the Autism Spectrum, or who for other reason have difficulty with social communication, sensory processing, or executive functioning. AFSS is working to build a more inclusive community for individuals who otherwise may not have many opportunities or be able to find others with whom to socialize. We do not charge our members any fees, and our income comes exclusively from fundraising.

**The Problem**

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 1 in 68 individuals in the U.S. is somewhere on the autism spectrum. Because adulthood constitutes most of the human lifespan, the majority of these individuals are adults. In New York City, where AFSS is based, this corresponds to a population of nearly 100,000, with closer to 200,000 in the Greater New York area, most of which have not yet been identified. A common misconception is that individuals with autism prefer to be isolated and are not interested in either friendships or romantic relationships; in fact, for most adults, nothing could be farther from the truth. Consequently, there is a need for venues where adults on the spectrum can meet others who live with the same challenges, discuss and share the difficulties that they face in various aspects of their lives in a supportive environment, and be able to simply socialize with people who perceive and interact with the world in a manner similar to their own. Also, even though unemployment statistics for autistic adults are greatly overestimated (roughly half of AFSS group members are employed at some level), they are still higher than for any other disability. As such, many will not be able to afford the kinds of group and cultural activities that AFSS is working to provide. These costs can only be met through outside contributions and donations.
 
**Our Approach**

AFSS support groups, currently held in rented venues, allow members to discuss issues of concern to them in a group setting among other adults living with similar challenges. Each meeting starts with a specific theme chosen by the group. Past themes have included community, relationships, dating, isolation, and employment-related difficulties. For example, we have had discussions on what it means to be part of a community and on what an ideal community would be like. We then allow the conversation to evolve during the session, allowing members to relate their own personal stories to the group.
  
AFSS social groups encourage members to go out in public with others like them and to feel more a part of and accepted in a community, and meet at different restaurants and locations throughout the New York City area. This also provides an opportunity for the greater community to see that we are no different from anyone else and fully capable of participating in society in spite of our minor differences. These groups provide a sense of community for individuals who otherwise may not have many suitable opportunities to socialize, as well as somewhere to go, on a regular basis, with a relaxed, comfortable, judgment-free atmosphere where people can be themselves amongst others sharing similar difficulties and interests. 
  
AFSS cultural events provide opportunities for our groups to attend a variety of artistic, scientific, and cultural events. These take place in museums, galleries, exhibitions, theaters, and other venues throughout the NYC area.

Delivering mobile-based rehabilitation programs to treat COPD, making treatment accessible in areas where it is currently lacking.

**Overview**
Respira Health is developing a free, mobile-based pulmonary rehabilitation program to close the treatment gap for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - India’s second leading cause of death. Incubated in March 2025 through Ambitious Impact’s Charity Entrepreneurship Program, we are in the early stages of building a scalable, cost-effective model for delivery across low-resource settings.

**The Problem**
COPD is the fourth leading cause of death globally, responsible for over 3 million deaths annually. Critically, 90% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where limited healthcare capacity and logistical challenges prevent patients from accessing effective treatment. In India, this treatment gap is especially pronounced, despite the availability of proven interventions.

**Our Solution**
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a well-established intervention combining strength and cardio exercises, breathing techniques, lifestyle support (e.g., smoking cessation), and psychological care. Research shows that just three PR sessions can reduce the risk of death by 9%. Digital delivery of PR via mobile phones or web platforms has been shown to be as effective as in-person programs, but at a fraction of the cost. Respira Health is adapting existing PR content into a mobile-first format accessible via widely used platforms like WhatsApp to ensure it reaches underserved COPD patients across India.

**Current Activities**
We are conducting scoping visits in Mumbai and Delhi from July - September 2025. Our objectives are to:

- Understand the burden of COPD and the broader healthcare landscape.
- Conduct needs assessments with healthcare workers and patients.
- Test key assumptions around digital platform usability, referral pathways, and patient adherence.
- Build relationships with potential collaborators for future pilot implementation.

**Future Plans**
Upon completion of our proof-of-concept phase, we will fundraise for a pilot launch. Our primary goal for Year 1 is to demonstrate uptake, engagement, and adherence in low-resource communities, paving the way for scale-up in 2026.

**Impact Potential**
Our intervention could provide millions of COPD patients with access to life-extending care currently out of reach. By leveraging digital tools, we aim to overcome traditional delivery barriers and radically expand access to pulmonary rehabilitation. We estimate that the average patient completing our program will gain over six months of healthy life. Based on our cost modelling, we anticipate averting a disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for just $20 - making our intervention potentially five times more cost-effective than GiveWell’s funding bar for highly cost-effective charities.

We help people navigate sudden loss by walking beside them — learning to honor what was, while finding purpose in what remains. 

**One-toOne Mentoring with Telehealth Access:** 

Our 1:1 mentoring connects people who are grieving with someone who truly understands — a trained peer who’s walked through loss themselves. We’re expanding our space and adding secure telehealth stations, so we can meet people where they are.

Sometimes, getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. So if a person can’t come to us, we will go to them — using technology, in the safety of their own home.

Your support helps cover mentor stipends, technology access, and scholarships for those who can’t afford the $75 session fee.

**Free Support Groups - Now Hybrid - In-person & Online:**

We host mentor-led groups for all kinds of loss — Suicide, Spouse, Child, Infant & Miscarriage. We’ve even added a Loss-to-Addiction group and another, coming soon, for Young Spouses under 40 — people often left out of traditional grief spaces.

In 2025, we made our groups hybrid, so someone who lives out of town (or just can’t face leaving home) can still join and be heard.

Your gift helps us sustain these groups, train and pay facilitators, keeping the door open for anyone who needs them.

**HopeWave for Youth Grief Recovery:**

HopeWave is our 10-week, in-school mentoring program for elementary, middle, and high school students who’ve lost a parent, sibling, or someone close. It teaches coping skills, emotional awareness, and connection — helping kids heal right where they learn.

This semester, 103 students across JCPS took part, and we’re on track to reach up to 250 hurting youth next year.

HopeWave fills a critical gap in youth mental-health services by preventing isolation, acting-out behaviors — including violence — and the suppressed trauma so often linked to unprocessed grief.

Your support helps us train and pay HopeWave grief mentors and provide journals and resources that guide young people toward understanding and resilience.

**Scholarships & Therapy Access:**

Not every griever can afford private therapy — and that’s okay. We provide scholarship funds for people who need specialized trauma care, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), but can’t afford it — making sure nobody is turned away.

Your generosity helps fill that gap, so healing never depends on what someone can pay.
