The Rosie’s Wish Community Development Corporation (CDC) focuses on health and wellness programs that aim to prevent childhood diabetes and promote nutritious habits. These initiatives rely on grant funding and community partnerships to provide resources, education, and support for families in Las Vegas and beyond.

  • Family Advocacy & Mediation Services (FAMS): Coaches provide support to enhance, empower, and educate vulnerable families.
