Inspired by its founder, Cheryl Mancini, the Fund became reality when she saw the devastating effects that divorce brought to a lot of hard working parents. Unable to make ends meet in a single parent household, many lost most of their income, their family home and the ability to support their children in a safe environment.
Ms. Mancini purchased a small villa for a friend, and a dream came to her. Many of the divorced parents she knew were hard working and dedicated to raising their children, but were struggling daily, weekly, and monthly to make ends meet. She committed that the resources from the Over the Rainbow Fund would purchase safe homes in good neighborhoods to alleviate worries for many families. Assisting them to achieve their dreams of owning decent housing for themselves and their children has become her passion.
From those who participate in the program, the Fund collects just enough rent to cover costs as the new residents get back on their feet. Through the Fund's purchase program, residents become owners without the pressure usually experienced by home buyers with limited income. Ms. Mancini says, "We hold the mortgages to allow families to move into nicer and safer areas than they could otherwise afford."

While enduring the heartbreak and pressures of her own divorce, Ms.
Mancini volunteered in a homeless shelter where she saw that many homeless
men, women, and children did not have the necessities for daily living. Her
commitment is also to donate a percentage of PANTS UN-HEELED profits to
help feed and house the homeless. The sale of this product is Ms. Mancini's
avenue to her dreams.
