Raising 60k for my 60th B-day! Fund My Nonprofit!

Dear friends,

Every January 1st I pick a word for the year, but this year my word, “IMPACT” will stand for my last act.

I’m birthing something new for my 60th, and I’m asking for your support to make it happen.

It has been my dream to bring Richard’s legacy work to kids in schools— and now, more than ever, in post-pandemic times, our youth is suffering and in high need of social-emotional learning tools. Now that I am a grandmother of five, I wish to increase our impact on all kids by teaching them the kind of social, emotional-learning skills that foster leadership from the wisdom of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. Leadership, to me, means “lead with acts of change—lead with love.”

We all need to have higher resilience for tough times and learn the social-emotional learning tools that will help us to take charge of change and become empowered to be the change we wish to see.

That’s why….I’m birthing something new in my 60th year!

Announcing: Don’t Sweat Changemaker: A 501(c)3 Bringing the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff wisdom to teen leaders and teachers in schools!

Perhaps, you are one of the 30 million people who own one of our books and have learned a thing or two about how to live a calmer life of gratitude and compassion.

I am so excited to share this new way to bring Richard’s legacy work from Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff and his book, You Can Be Happy No Matter What (the five principles of Happiness) to kids in schools.

There has never been a better time than now to help to elevate our kids, and in so doing, raise the consciousness of the planet.

That’s why I’m asking you to help me celebrate the impact of my 60th birthday to consider joining me in raising the seed funding of $60,000 to bring the wisdom of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff to kids.

Our goal is to launch our pilot program later this fall.

Our Don’t Sweat Changemaker Mission Statement: A non-profit organization bringing life-changing social-emotional learning tools and leadership training to teens and teachers while promoting sustainable social connection, feelings of safety, and true a sense of belonging.

Happiness is contagious—let’s help our youth get back to being happy again–let’s turn this time around for them and teach them how to live what matters most–love and kindness!

If this calls to your heart and soul— in lieu of any other gift to me in celebration of my 60th---please go here to make your donation to Don’t Sweat Changemaker. (If you'd like to receive a donation receipt, please email us at assist@kristinecarlson)

Thank you with all my heart for helping me continue Richard’s legacy in making this world a happier place!

Treasure the gifts of life and love,

Kris
