Rise From The Streets, Inc. – Saving 100 Million Street Kids
Our Story
Our journey kicked off in 2006 when my wife at the time, Cristina Oliveira, and I started AmerinRio, Inc. Cristina’s been running the show as President/CEO since I stepped back from Vice President of Operations years ago. The mission? Help others. Always has been. For 19 years, through AmerinRio’s work—lifting up families, building sustainable communities, and more—we’ve kept that fire alive. See amerinrio.org for the full scoop. As a 501(c)(3) and a United Nations NGO Civil Society Participant, street kids have always been on our radar, but lately, it’s clear we’ve got to go bigger.
Rise From The Streets, Inc., an AmerinRio offshoot, has been simmering for years. Then it hit me: this crisis is a runaway wildfire, and we’re dousing it with one measly water bottle at a time. I said it in a meeting once, “We need a $100 billion firehose over the next 10 years—and that’s just step one.” UNICEF pegs street kids at 150 million, not even counting homeless families. It’s a beast, but it’s not hopeless. Together with other nonprofits, we believe—and I damn well know—we’ll crack this thing wide open.
Like Elon Musk or those who stare down mountains and refuse to blink, I don’t quit. Obstacles? You go over, around, through, or blow ‘em up—there’s always a way. “I can’t” isn’t in my vocabulary, and failure’s for quitters. Every roadblock’s just data, experience, and a lesson on what works.
We locked down the Rise From The Streets domain on February 25, 2025, and went official as a Texas nonprofit on March 14, 2025 (Doc #1460789760002, EIN: 33-3957874). I’m out of retirement, pouring in every dime I’d earn plus $200 of my Social Security each month. This is a $100 billion, 10-year plan to save 100 million kids worldwide—safety, education, healthcare, hope—starting with our STEM Desert Campus in Sierra Blanca, TX. I won’t stop until it’s done, and with your help, we’ll get there.
