Mustard Seed Projects

**  Michael Bisase’s
project is a non-profit organization called SIRE where he volunteers every Saturday. SIRE gives kids with disabilities an opportunity to ride horses for therapeutic purposes. Michael is focusing on drinking water preferably 16oz or 8oz cases. If you would like to help SIRE, please contact Michael at 281-797-3244, mkbisase@hotmail.com

 


**  Felicity Bisase is going to work with Lifecycles based right here in Houston. They help refugees to settle in their new homes. There is a dire need for back-to-school items and backpacks for all ages, new and gently used. The staff at Lifecycles said that they can never have enough, especially now that school is about to start. If you would like to help with this project for Lifecycles, please contact Felicity at 281-797-3244, musoilo@hotmail.com


**  Mary Plail Risley’s project is supporting the Sutton Elementary School (HISD) “1000+More” Books Project. Sutton is a PK through 5th grade elementary school with 95% of the students living at or below the federal poverty level. Many of the students are recent immigrants.
