❤️ Honoring Our Executive Director, Rhonda – A True Bridge Builder ❤️

❤️ We are so proud to share that our incredible Executive Director, Rhonda, has been honored with the Bridge Builder Award — recognizing leaders in our community who work tirelessly to build bridges instead of silos.

❤️ She was presented the award at Shine A Light Foundation's Annual Gala, an honor voted on by the Shine A Light Board of Directors. What an honor it is to have Miss Rhonda Dahl-Rios, a true servant leader, representing an organization dedicated to changing the course for women seeking recovery.

❤️ For nearly a decade, Rhonda has poured her heart into We Care House, guiding the foundation with unmatched service, fierce protection, and unwavering love. She has not only helped keep our doors open but has opened countless others for women seeking a second chance at life.

❤️ Her leadership is the reason so many lives have been changed, so many partnerships have been formed, and so many women have found a path to safety, serenity, and recovery. Rhonda doesn’t just build programs — she builds connection, hope, and possibility.

❤️ Please join us in celebrating this well-deserved recognition. Rhonda, thank you for being the heart of We Care House — your light continues to lead the way. 🕊️💫

❤️We Care Foundation at the 9th Annual Second Chance 5K❤️

❤️ This past weekend, We Care Foundation proudly participated in the 9th annual Second Chance 5K, an event born from the heartfelt desire to connect with families impacted by substance use disorders and to honor the memories of Leah, Amber, and Kristi.

❤️ A Race Filled with Meaning: The Second Chance 5K is more than just a race; it's a powerful expression of hope and support. It embodies our collective love for our sisters and brothers in the recovery community. Every step taken is a cheer for those fighting to overcome addiction—We see you, we believe in you, and we are cheering you on!

🕊️ Honoring and Celebrating Lives: While we remember those we've lost to addiction or su***de, we also celebrate the resilience of those who have crossed to the brighter side of recovery. This event is bittersweet, yet profoundly inspiring, as we come together to support and uplift one another.

❤️ Community Support and Sponsorship: Not only did our team walk in honor and celebration, but We Care Foundation also hosted a resource table and contributed as a Bronze sponsor. Our commitment is strong—not just on this day, but throughout the year, as the proceeds from this event continually support the Las Vegas recovery community.

❤️ Join Us in Spreading the Word: Please like and share our pictures from the event! Let’s spread the word about the work being done at We Care House. If you or someone you know needs help, remember: We Care House is here. We love you, and we will always keep the light on for those who need to find us.

💖 A Heartfelt Thank You: From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the love, support, donations, and time spent helping our girls reach recovery meetings and so much more. We truly are nothing without each other.

Embracing Healing with Sound Therapy and Reiki at We Care Foundation 🎵

At We Care Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting women on their journeys from homelessness and substance use disorder to a life marked by safety, serenity, and sustainable recovery. We understand that each woman’s path is unique, and providing a variety of therapeutic modalities is crucial in supporting their emotional wellness and sobriety.

🌿 Holistic Healing Modalities: Among the transformative therapies we offer, Sound Therapy and Reiki stand out for their profound ability to promote healing and relaxation. These practices are essential as they help our women unwind the underlying reasons for their journeys into sobriety.

Meet Ana Amon, a Pillar of Support: We are fortunate to partner with Aerin's Energy & Sound Healing , a certified Reiki and sound frequency practitioner. Ana is a revered figure in the Las Vegas recovery community. Known for her altruism, kindness, and compassion, Ana utilizes an array of tools like sound bowls, tuning forks, buffalo drums, and gongs, which bring instant calming vibrations to those in her care.

Ana recently brought her entire collection of sound healing instruments to We Care House, volunteering her time to recalibrate, renew, and revitalize all the women who participated. The session was nothing short of magical, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication to integrating these healing modalities into the recovery space.

📊The Impact of Sound Therapy: Recent studies underscore the effectiveness of sound therapy in addiction treatment. Statistics reveal that participants in sound therapy experience significant reductions in anxiety and stress levels, both of which are crucial for long-term recovery success.

Thank you, Ana, for your unwavering commitment to healing and for being a beacon of light in our community. Your work not only soothes but also empowers our women to continue their recovery with renewed spirit and strength.
