What We Do
Funding faith-based student ministries
Live Like Rylee has a strong belief in investing in the spiritual growth of the younger generations. Through our funding initiatives, we support faith-based student ministries that provide mentorship, community, and a deeper connection to faith.
Assist families dealing with medical crises or medical-related hardships
When families face medical challenges, the emotional and financial strain can be overwhelming. Our mission is to provide practical support during these difficult times, whether it is covering travel expenses for treatments, assisting with daily living needs, housing during treatments or offering a helping hand in unexpected circumstances. You're not alone—help is just a step away.
Assistance to students for attendance at church camp or similar activity
Experiences at church camps and similar faith-building activities can be life-changing for young people. Live Like Rylee partners with local churches to help students attend faith-based camps by providing financial assistance for registration and transportation. No student should miss out on strengthening their faith and building lifelong friendships.
Spreading Jesus’ Light,
One Step at a Time
$250,000 in Grants
approved and distributed in the Permian Basin.
829 Students
were sent to camps or church events to hear the gospel of Jesus across the Permian Basin.
16 Families
received financial support as they walked through cancer or other medical hardships.
We saw God move in many ways. We had 16 students accept Jesus Christ as their lord and Savior for the very first time, four students rededicate their lives to Christ, 43 students went public with faith in baptism, and we had 42 students accept God’s call into ministry. We would like to thank LLR for its generosity. We believe that lives and eternities were changed at ENYC. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with LLR as we make it on earth as it is in heaven right here in the Permian Basin. Thank You!
Your organization is truly a blessing to families dealing with illness, and your support has changed our lives in countless ways, I am forever grateful for the kindness LLR has shown to us.
17 students who were on scholarship either gave their lives to the Lord for the first time, responded to believers’ baptism, or took the next steps in their faith by choosing to serve. We thank God for the LLR Foundation and the passion you have to reach the STUDENTS AND FAMILIES with the gospel.
I was able to be with my son by his side every day during treatment because of The Live Like Rylee Foundation.

Even in the midst of the storm, There is hope.
If you asked me a year ago what I would be doing this time next year, my answer definitely wouldn’t have been correct. Of course not though, no one hopes or plans for this diagnosis. That’s why cancer is so hated because it comes in when you least expect it to and it turns your…

My experience in treatment
6 years of battling this and for 2 years everyone thought I was in recovery. I even had myself fooled for that matter. I knew I was acting in my eating disorder behaviors but I had every intention of being recovered so I truly believed I was in recovery. That’s the sad part of this,…

The hardest fight I’ve ever fought
A year ago, I wrote a blog titled “Road Through Recovery.” In that blog I focused on the importance of where our value and worth is found. Most of the blog I talked about the process of learning to love myself again. It was a positive blog. It was focused more on the positive side…

Brave hearts
What does being brave mean to you? What do you define as “brave”? If I’m being honest I’ve never even thought about this but this week I’ve really started reflecting on being “brave”. I think we can all say that we want to be defined as brave. Whether we consider ourselves brave or not, we…

Guilty to forgiven
Shame, guilt, un worthy, messy, unwanted, less, bitter, unloved, sinful. These are words that have haunted my mind the past 6 months. Words the devil has convinced me to believe. Words that hurt. Words that kill. Words that have kept me from living for Christ. Words that have kept me from my purpose. Words that…
