In her own words
Being chosen as the recipient of a $10,000 donation from The Treston Project is something I will never forget. In a season of life that has been filled with so much uncertainty, fear, and challenges I never imagined I would face, this is a reminder that even in the hardest moments, there is still so much goodness in this world.
This is so much more than a financial gift. It is breathing room during a time when so much feels uncertain. It is one less thing to worry about while I focus on getting through treatment. It is a reminder that my family and I are not alone in this fight.
To everyone who makes The Treston Project possible, please know that your generosity reaches further than you may ever realize. You aren’t just helping people financially. You’re giving families hope, easing burdens, and reminding people like me that there is still so much kindness in this world.

This was paid for by reviews
M&R puts $20 into The Treston Project for every review the company receives — good or bad, on any platform, including the ones given down the phone. It is not a marketing budget and it is not a percentage of anything. It fills up a few reviews at a time until it reaches $10,000, and then a family here receives it.
This round reached $10,000 on October 11 and was presented on October 28, 2026. The family was found with San Juan United Way, who see who is struggling here long before a contractor would.
The next round is already building. Every review from October 11 onward counts toward it.
The next family is funded by the next review
Every review adds to it, whatever it says. If we have been out to you, that is the whole ask.
