Project Title: Wings for Wishes
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Wings for Wishes is a comprehensive, neuroscience-based initiative designed to build character, resilience, and healthy decision-making skills in children, teens, and the adults who guide them. Funding will support the full portfolio of programs serving early childhood through adolescence, as well as parents, educators, and community partners.<\/p>\n
The initiative integrates brain-based principles and positive psychology to instill integrity, self-regulation, confidence, and perseverance as behavioral habits. <\/p>\n
For ages 3\u20139," I Believe I Can Fly!" uses guided imagery, role-playing, puppetry, and experiential learning to strengthen self-esteem, social skills, and healthy lifestyle habits while helping children identify their innate gifts and overcome limiting beliefs.<\/p>\n
For youth ages 10\u201318, "MindShift: Flying High\u2026Rising Above" provides mindset mastery tools that activate neurochemical pathways associated with motivation, emotional regulation, and achievement. <\/p>\n
"Bullyproof Your Classroom" delivers practical, evidence-informed strategies for students, educators, parents, and bystanders to prevent and address bullying while cultivating compassionate school cultures.<\/p>\n
All programs include customizable Train-the-Trainer models offered virtually and in person to ensure sustainable implementation across schools, after-school programs, mentorship initiatives, summer camps, and community organizations. Additional seminars address pressing mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, suicide prevention, addiction, digital overstimulation, and post-pandemic trauma.<\/p>\n
By supporting the entire continuum of services, this funding will strengthen families, classrooms, and communities, equipping young people with the mindset, habits, and hope needed to transform their potential into lifelong possibilities.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: We are just starting as a non profit, so a projection for this first year would be 200,000<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): The initiative has been primarily self-funded through Edie\u2019s personal investment to launch and sustain programming. We are actively seeking grant funding and charitable donations to broaden reach and ensure long-term viability.<\/p>\n
Project Duration: We hope to raise funds for at least one year.
\nGeographical Area Served: The project was born in North Carolina, but it is not designed to serve a specific region.
\nAge Group To Be Served: Ages from 3 until 18 and teachers, parents, and schools.<\/p>\n
