Our Service Projects
WISDOM Service Project Recap
ItMarissa has lead all of WISDOM this month by example. She decided to donate 35 cm (about 14 inches) of hair to a Polish foundation called Rak n Roll that takes hair donations and makes wigs for women dealing with cancer. The money that we raise will go toward various programs this company has in place for helping women and their families throughout the whole process of cancer treatment and life after..
At WISDOM one of our main goals is to bless others with what we have been blessed with by serving those in need. WISDOM gets creative in seeking out needs all over the world and helps meet practical needs through raising money and giving 100% of the funds to the cause at hand. Help us be the light the world needs!

We randomly called electric companies all over the USA and paid off outstanding bills for people
We love to assist our fellow WISDOM members and their ministries. Adaora Elonu has an organization that hosts basketball and life skills camps in Nigeria that we help fund. Alexis Peterson and her ministry hosts a Thanksgiving food box drive and we help supply the items needed for the boxes.
Marissa lead us in a fundraising campaign for cancer patients by donating 14 inches of her hair to help make wigs while monetary donation went to programs to assist cancer patients in various realms
We support a Lincoln, Nebraska back to school bash that is put on by the People City Mission and a local church by raising money for backpacks. We have been doing this for 4 years.
And many other projects God has blessed us in helping out with since our start date in the summer of 2019.
2024 Projects
January 2024-
WISDOM was made aware of a family that was trying hard to keep their heads above water with bills coming in left and right and no relief in sight. Our main goal is not to just throw money at problems but rather help meet specific needs so we raised money to pay the car note. In our generosity and God’s grace, we raised enough money for about 3 months of that bill.
Febuary 2024-
WISDOM partnered with Compassion International and sponsored a pregnant woman and her journey from conception to the baby’s first birthday. This program is called “Fight for First” and assists women in third world countries like: Togo, Burkina Faso, and Ethiopia. A big part of the program is also learning about the Gospel and teaching the women the way of a Christ follower.
March 2024-
We partnered with our WISDOM sister Kyra Lambert in raising funds for the non-profit organization she works for in the summer called 318 Foundation in Shreveport, Louisiana. This organization provides opportunities for inner city kids to experience life outside of their environment to broaden their horizons through sports programs, community involvement, and cultural/education trips to other states.
April 2024-
There is an on-line portal that WISDOM has access to through the local church in Nebraska that helps keep at risk families together. This portal is used by the state workers assigned to families as a way to post needs that will ensure kids and parents get to stay together. The social worker will post a need and then the local churches come together and try to supply & fund what they can. Some of the needs met were: purchasing a double stroller, supplying a bunk bed for safe sleeping, helping with a rent check & electric bill, and providing window and door alarms for a safe house.
May 2024-
We partnered with a camp held for kids who are either currently in or have been in the foster care system. They throw a “Everyone’s Birthday Party” at the camp each year and this is a time for the kids to get fancy and wear nice clothes. We purchased many outfits for the occasion and helped a lot of self-esteem boost!
June/ July 2024-
We raised money in June to supply kids with new backpacks and school supplies for the upcoming school year. This event is special for WISDOM because we actually get to have members serve physically in this event so July was focused on volunteer recruitment. This year we supplied 312 backpacks and had over 15 members of WISDOM volunteer their time.
August 2024-
Our WISDOM brother works for FCA Internationally and he made us aware of a brother in Christ in Malawi, Africa who is doing God’s work but could use some help from us to make things a bit easier. The roads in Malawi are less than desirable and his car was hanging on by a thread. He has athletes in a 25 mile radius that he reaches and that is virtually impossible to do with only one bicycle. We were able to supply funds for a new vehicle, a new storage facility, and many new Bibles.
September 2024-
We raised money to help a little Polish girl’s family pay for her medical treatment that was not covered by the healthcare plan they have. We helped fund an injection to keep the tumor away, a surgery to remove the tumor, and post-operation care.
October 2024-
Our WISDOM sister Megan Freeman contacted me about a woman and her family who was really hitting a rough patch with their family and the health issues of their children. It seemed like the phrase “when it rains, it pours” was their family motto. We raised money to help cover medical costs and life changes that needed to happen due to random and rapid changes in health due to some diagnoses.
November 2024-
We are raising money to help supply Thanksgiving dinner boxes to families in south Philadelphia. We have been blessed to partner with our sister, Alexis Peterson and her ministry to help supply boxes with a turkey and various canned & boxed foods to make a complete meal.
December 2024-
Please join us in our final event of the year—our Polish Santa Event. We sponsor somewhere around 30 kids who are in a rough situation. They are not with their parents in some capacity and really rely on us to make some Christmas dreams come true. For just $45 you can make a Christmas wish complete for a kiddo in Poland. Contact us for more details and ways you can sponsor a child.
