Invest in the Lives of Those Who Are Hurting

Life throws us all curveballs, some more painful and challenging than others. What often makes the impact easier to bear is having someone to walk beside us as we navigate the uncertainties in the seasons that follow. We created the Smart Living in Small Bites guidebook series to do just that: offer a comforting presence and hope for women struck by unexpected circumstances.

Each guidebook in the series—covering topics ranging from sexual abuse, marriage troubles, suicide, infertility, single motherhood and more—is penned by a writer who has walked through those same circumstances and come out on the other side fueled with a renewed sense of strength and hope. In the books, these writers recount their journeys and share encouragement and hard-earned wisdom for others who are just beginning theirs.

These women aren’t the only ones who need support. As a primarily volunteer-driven 501(c)3 nonprofit, we need a dedicated community to partner with us and provide financial support to get these resources into the hands of those who need them. Your support will offer a hopeful future for those finding themselves in the midst of heartbreak.

We wrote the books we wish we had when we faced challenges.
Help us get them into the hands of those who need them now!

Let's Answer Your Questions

How will you allocate funds?

Since its inception, The Grit and Grace Project, with a few exceptions, has been primarily staffed by unpaid positions and volunteers. But now, our organization is set to launch its most ambitious project yet: a book series titled Smart Living in Small Bites. This project will require more resources than we currently have available to us.

To grow this platform and expand our reach, we need to add another paid staff member, hire an outside PR firm, and create a significant marketing budget to get these books into the hands of the women who need them.

How does this book series fit into The Grit and Grace Project's mission?

Our vision has always been clear: We aim to walk alongside women and  transform their lives through real, hard-earned advice and encouragement, underscored by our faith.
We are women who have experienced specific challenges others are facing. We have experienced loss through suicide, suffered from anxiety, struggled with a challenging marriage, and suffered abuse at the hands of another, to mention only a few.
Each book in the series addresses a difficult subject like those listed above and is authored by a writer who has lived through it. We tell our stories, the problems we faced, the steps we took to overcome those problems, and, ultimately, the hope we found. Then, we encourage the reader to journal their experiences throughout the pages as we trace our own stories.
And we offer the source of our strength, our faith—without judgment, loving each woman exactly where they are. We have done this through all our endeavors at The Grit and Grace Project and believe this is the next step in transforming women’s lives.

What will happen without my donation and support?

Many resources are written on the subjects we address, but very few provide a step-by-step guide from a writer who has lived them or the space for readers to unpack the stories, emotions, and problems they face within the journaling pages of each book. This series is a partnership between the writer and reader that is unique to our project.

The writers of these books were once at a place in their lives where they wished they had someone to walk beside them—someone who had experienced the same hurt and could lovingly share the tools that helped them endure.

Not publishing this series would leave many feeling like they are alone—invisible and unsupported. Instead, we have the opportunity to transform lives through this series and the specific help we are able to offer.
