COMING SOON-FUNDING NEEDED
We’re proud to announce the upcoming launch of Unwritten — a powerful new mobile app created through a heartfelt collaboration between Tara Ballinger, founder of RRVA Youth Prevention Services, Boomer Rose of Pink Cloud Innovations, and the dedicated nonprofit The Glue Foundation.
Built with authenticity and passion, Unwritten gives voice to the unheard. This app will feature real stories, digital journaling, anonymous peer support, wellness resources, and powerful tools for healing and growth. Designed especially for youth and young adults, Unwritten offers a safe digital space to express, connect, and grow — one story at a time.
Why it matters: Every day, youth in our communities face isolation, trauma, and addiction. Unwritten bridges the gap between pain and purpose. With your help, we can keep the message alive and accessible.
🙌 How You Can Support
All donations go directly to The Glue Foundation, a nonprofit committed to developing and launching Unwritten to schools and communities across the nation.
Your support fuels more than an app — it brings connection, hope, and change.
Additional Services:
CRAFTS
Creative activities like crafting allow youth to express themselves freely, build patience, and see the tangible results of their efforts, which fosters self-worth. Hands-on projects serve as a therapeutic and empowering tool, teaching them mindfulness, problem-solving, and the value of personal creativity in a world that often pushes conformity.
MUSIC
Music serves as a powerful tool for self-reflection and storytelling, allowing youth to process emotions, find their voice, and relate to positive messages. By integrating music into prevention education, I connect with them on their level, using beats, lyrics, and freestyle creativity to encourage self-expression and critical thinking about their choices.
MMA FIGHTING
MMA training teaches discipline, control, and self-respect while offering an empowering outlet for stress and frustration. By incorporating MMA, I provide youth with a structured way to channel aggression, build mental and physical resilience, and develop confidence through personal growth and goal-setting.
" Tara has shown me more compassion and understanding than any one place I have asked for help from. Thanks to her supporters I am starting Peer Recovery Specialist Training to better myself, and build a healthy strong future for my kids to break the cycle.
