Raise Me Strong was created in July 2011 by Eliza Tufts. The purpose of Raise Me Strong is to create an awareness of afflicting childhood conditions, to share recipes, games, stories and our experiences raising five kids.
We would love to hear from you. What funny kidisms do you have to share? Are you going through something that you want to share? (A death, inspirational story, or recent diagnosis) Shoot us an e-mail at raisemestrong@yahoo.com and tell us all about it. We reserve the right to not publish submissions at our discretion. Any submissions that are shared will include the first name, last initial and state/country of the submitter. Names in the stories may be changed per request but please include only factual information in your stories.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 a year through sales and donations. These funds will be used mostly (60-75%) as direct donations to groups in conjunction with the National Monthly Awareness Promotions. A small portion (less than or equal to 10%) will be used for advertising and expenses. The remainder will be returned to the community in the form of cash, prizes, home restorations, payment of medical bills etc.
