Anniversary

Ross and the Ross House

Today is my grandmother’s birthday. She would have been 108. Many of you know she lived to 106 (and a half!). We just had her memorial service earlier this month (November 2021).

Ross Schlernitzauer (pronounced just like it’s spelled!) was an amazing lady – a liver of life, a keeper of memories, a force to be reckoned with, and quietly generous. She passed her legacy of generosity to my mom, and it has had a huge impact on my life as well as my daughter’s.

Ten Eighteen’s US office is run 100% by volunteers. We have no administrative expenses, we don’t do any paid marketing, no one gets a salary, and we work from home. That means that your money goes TO THE WORK, always.

With donations through Donorbox or DonorSee, we use the funds within days to change lives among Uganda’s poorest youth. For all of us, it’s a labor of love that started with the grand lady we called Memommy.
