Story

Every single family in the Paradise community is seeking a better life for themselves and their children which is common to any other household. Paradise has up to five generations of family members comprised of grandparents, mothers, fathers, and many children who love the Paradise community and make lemonade out of lemons every single day. These families want to create generational wealth to eradicate poverty and live self-sufficiently.

A hand-up through volunteering without judgment, donating regularly, and trusting that all donations are used prudently and efficiently, and spreading the word are positive ways to support our work. Our methods may challenge the status quo as our needs, culture, and tradition sometimes is vastly different than many of the mainstream cultures that surround our community. Some traditions from our unique community date back to the 1800s and are central to our identity. However, we thrived with dignity as a community for many decades and are adapting to strategies that encourage economic mobility and are more easily attainable by our youth. We believe this and with you as our neighbor, we can achieve success while maintaining our dignity, historical significance, and cultural traditions.
