🏡Homes for Hope – Individual Fundraising Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the Homes for Hope Individual Fundraising Guide! This guide will help you understand how to raise funds for yourself or a loved one through our platform, ensuring access to safe, sustainable housing solutions.

The Homes for Hope initiative, supported by the Viviscent Wellness Foundation, empowers individuals, particularly veterans and underserved families, to secure funding for housing through community-driven support.

Support Someone’s Path to Wellness

At the Viviscent Wellness Foundation, we believe that small gestures can have a big impact. A $10 Donation is a meaningful way to support someone on their recovery journey, giving them access to effective, non-opioid solutions for pain management and addiction recovery.
