Below are news items and comments featuring R.A.A.! and the work that we do. Thanks to all for their support
and acknowledgements! It's wonderful to know that we are touching lives in a positive way!
TESTIMONIAL: "I grew up very poor, and in the past, my attitude
towards money was, spend it on what you want now because you won’t have any later. My association with R.A.A.! Committee
has forced me to re-examine my relationship with money and look at it in a new and more mature way. I pay more attention to
when I’m spending, and write things down –there’s no more mysterious “Where did all my money go?”! I’m finding that when I’m aware of what I’m spending money on, I
seem to retain more of it for our needs.
I’m teaching my son, who is 9, a whole
new method of dealing with money now. He has spending money of his own, and also puts percentages of each allowance into short
term savings, long term savings, “taxes”, and best of all, to charity. He thinks about what he is spending money
on, and makes his decisions based on real choice instead of impulse, and is able to make a small difference in the world through
his charity donations. I feel R.A.A! has given me the tools to make my son’s
life better financially and by learning to be a caretaker for himself and others."
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: R.A.A.! is proud to be listed as one of the "Trusted Community Resources" on
KETC Channel 9 Facing the Mortgage Crisis web site, http://stlmortgagecrisis.org.
TESTIMONIAL: "I was homeless on Sunday but thanks to Ms. Rose and her team of angels
by Wednesday I was sleeping in my own apartment! They even helped me with furniture and groceries! I've since
been able to focus more on school and getting my life back on track. R.A.A.! is definitely a blessing in disguise in
more ways than one! Thanks for the support and encouragement you continue to give me!" - F.S.
KUDOS: "I'd never heard of R.A.A.! until I attended your meeting and I have to say, I'm impressed!
I look forward to working with you more. Keep doing great things! - D. Stanton
