Adulthood should never begin with abandonment.
Turning eighteen does not mean a young person suddenly has everything she needs to live independently. For young women leaving foster care, a safe place to live and someone to count on can make a meaningful difference.
Through FINALLY HOME at Rachel’s House, DEE, Inc. helps fill that gap with housing, life-skills development, guidance, accountability, and support for education and employment. We help young women take steps toward a more stable future.
This North Texas Giving Day, help us reach our $10,000 goal to support the housing and everyday services that make this work possible. Your gift helps sustain essentials such as utilities, food, transportation, resident supplies, and program support.
Give what you can. Invite someone else to give. Together, we can help a young woman move forward with support around her.
Give to DEE, Inc. for North Texas Giving Day
DEE, Inc. equips individuals and families with housing, leadership development, and practical “adulting” skills that build independence and self-sufficiency. Through education, guidance, and supportive relationships, we help people overcome barriers, break cycles of instability, and build thriving futures.
Adulthood should never begin with abandonment.
Through FINALLY HOME at Rachel’s House, DEE, Inc. provides safe housing and practical support for young women ages 18–24 transitioning out of foster care. Our Supervised Independent Living (SIL) program combines life skills training, individualized case management, mentoring, and faith-based encouragement with support for college, vocational training, and employment.
The home is furnished and operating. Our focus now is sustaining the people, resources, and everyday support that help residents move toward independence.
Our current priorities include:
A reliable program van. We need a safe, dependable van for transportation to school, work, interviews, appointments, grocery shopping, and program activities. A donated vehicle or financial support toward its purchase and operating costs would help meet this need.
Daily housing and household needs. Help sustain utilities, groceries, internet, home maintenance, and essential household supplies.
Outdoor quiet lounging areas. This allows residents to experience the calm and beauty of nature. And have additional space for privacy.
Consistent staff and resident support. Support the staff who provide case management, resident guidance, life skills instruction, and coordination of services.
Education and employment readiness. Help provide learning materials, technology access, school and work supplies, and preparation for education, training, and employment.
Resident essentials. Help replenish hygiene products, cleaning supplies, welcome kits, and replacement linens as needed.
Volunteer and community partners. Share your time through mentoring, life skills workshops, career connections, lawn care, and approved maintenance projects.
Give financially, become a monthly supporter, contribute gift cards, or help connect us with a vehicle donor or business partner. To coordinate a van donation, volunteer service, or supplies, contact empowered@deeinc.org before delivery so we can confirm current needs.
Together, we fill the gap between having a place to live and having the support to build a future.
DEE, Inc. honors the dignity, worth, and potential of every person. We are committed to serving individuals and families with fairness and respect, without discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, color, creed, physical or mental disability, or any other protected status.
We recognize that people face different barriers and need different kinds of support. Our programs seek to expand access to housing, education, life skills, and opportunity, with services guided by individual needs and applicable program eligibility requirements.
