Here are 10 great reasons to give your gift to #BeMoreLikeClaire:
- Claire believed that all humans deserve to be treated with love and kindness. #BeMoreLikeClaire strives to act with kindness in all its interactions, both internally with its board members, staff, and volunteers, and externally, with community partners, grantees, foundations, and social service agencies.
- We work hard to ensure that everyone has access to food, housing and healthcare. Your donations allowed us to give grants to Just Food to build Claire’s Kitchen, your hands and gifts built a home for the Waughs, and a new van helped children get access to dental care at their schools.
- Claire was focused on creating good in the world, and she knew that would take determination, perseverance, and a lot of hard work. We are committed to working hard and showing up, just like Claire, to do as much good as we can in her name.
- We believe that mentors transform lives. Claire was a Big Sister in Louisville during dental school. Our partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters supports girls who are on the waiting list to get matched with caring adult women.
- #BeMoreLikeClaire is committed to giving back to the people and causes that shaped Claire’s life. As Claire showed us, one person can make a big difference. When we give generously together, we expand our impact exponentially.
- We believe that all relationships should be free from cruelty and built on trust and respect. Claire's Community trains adults to recognize signs of abuse, become safe, askable adults for kids to talk to about relationships, and helps to educate people and create societal change. Knowing the red flags of coercive control could have saved Claire’s life.
- Claire lived a life filled with many gifts, but she knew that not everyone was so fortunate. At #BeMoreLikeClaire, we are dedicated to helping everyone access the basic foundations of a happy and fulfilling life, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, creed, or body size.
- We work hard to ensure that the earth and its resources are protected and respected. The Growing Food Growing Hope garden at First Step is a beautiful example of the healing power of nature. We look forward to working with the city of Lawrence as a Climate Ambassador- something Claire would certainly approve!
- As a relatively new non-profit, #BeMoreLikeClaire is passionate about listening to feedback from the communities it serves with the goal of continuous organizational improvement and growth. Got a question, idea, or comment? Don’t hesitate to reach out and share it.
- While we’re working hard to do good, we never forget to take a moment to sing, dance, laugh, and be silly. Laughter is good for the soul, and it’s what makes life worth living. Claire knew that, and so do we.
