Together Rise: Broken, But Not Defeated is more than a name it’s a movement. We are a healing-centered community built by and for those impacted by DCFS and the child welfare system. Our brand stands for resilience, connection, and transformation. Through shared stories, mutual support, and unwavering compassion, we empower individuals to rise from their pain not in silence, but together.
