Founders
Joe and Kate Vacanti are Buffalo natives with a heart to reach our city and beyond with the life transforming message of Jesus. They founded Let them LOL (now Hope Rising Together) in 2009 and have seen a community here and abroad grow, with clean water wells drilled, a school and homes for children, a medical center and more. They desire for everyone to live a hope filled life that Jesus brings and to not settle for the life they see, but one that could be.
