What Happens If They All Just Stopped?

Protecting life from the womb.

REN LIFE creates awareness around unborn children, vulnerable mothers, pregnancy support, alternatives, organisations assisting women and families, and the protection of human life.

The objective is not simply to speak. It is to connect people facing difficult circumstances with organisations and resources that may actually help them.

Fighting child trafficking and exploitation.

REN WALK focuses on child trafficking, exploitation, missing children and the organisations working directly to locate, protect and rescue victims.

TRE supports and amplifies credible organisations operating within this space, including those conducting investigations, rescue work, prevention initiatives and victim support.

Our first REN WALK is planned for 11 April, with Durban forming part of the initial focus.

TRE also supports organisations such as Lantern Rescue, while continuing to identify credible organisations locally and internationally.

REN WALK is also about prevention.

Parents and communities need to understand how trafficking happens, how grooming begins, what warning signs look like and where suspicious activity should be reported.

Protecting children online.

RISE STRONG focuses heavily on trauma, PTSD and mental health support.

One of the initiatives supported through RISE is awareness and fundraising for The Headstrong Project, which provides trauma-focused mental-health care to military veterans and others affected by service-related trauma.

This mission has particular significance to TRE because of Sgt. Chris Robello’s military background and the experiences carried by many military personnel and veterans.

Physical strength and mental resilience are deeply connected.

Fit Body, Strong Mind focuses on movement, exercise, discipline, nutrition and healthier habits as components of rebuilding.

This area allows TRE to highlight:

RISE UP gives TRE a space to amplify organisations and professionals working directly within mental health, suicide prevention, trauma recovery and community support.

During Suicide Prevention Month, for example, TRE can highlight organisations such as SADAG and direct people to their professional resources.

Working dogs play a significant role in conservation.

ROAR will increasingly highlight anti-poaching K9s, their handlers, training, retirement and the role these dogs play in locating poachers, detecting wildlife products and protecting conservation areas.

This includes individuals such as Sgt. Christian Jan Visser and the wider K9 conservation community.

ROAR also highlights organisations, businesses and initiatives whose work contributes to conservation.

For example, Rhino Coffee raises funds and awareness for rhino protection through its products.

TRE can introduce these projects to audiences who may never otherwise discover them.

That is exactly what TRE’s connector model is designed to do.

REEF also recognises the people who protect human life at sea.

This includes organisations such as NSRI Sea Rescue Station 41 — Ballito, whose volunteers respond when people are in danger along our coastline.

Supporting our oceans also means recognising those who protect the communities living, working and travelling around them.

TRE highlights credible marine organisations and campaigns and directs supporters toward their official resources.

These can include organisations such as:

REAL is closely connected to the origin story of TRE.

An imposter account using Sgt. Chris Robello’s identity ultimately led to the real Chris being discovered.

That connection developed into friendship, writing, awareness work and eventually the creation of TRE.

What started with a fake account ultimately helped create something designed to fight the very problem that started it.

It also became part of the inspiration behind the Awareness Thrillers, written by L.A. Motzouris and Sgt. Chris Robello.

The books use fiction and dark thriller storytelling to draw attention to very real online dangers.

REAL therefore represents something fundamental to TRE:

Something harmful can become the beginning of something that protects other people.

Reach for the Stars is a planned TRE initiative focused on space education, curiosity and opportunities for communities to explore and learn.

The mission is in development. Planned work includes educational storytelling and community outreach around exploration, research and our place in the universe.

We are building the bridge between everyday people and opportunities to discover more. REACH will grow alongside TRE’s other five missions, with updates and next steps shared on Patreon.

No launch date or affiliation with a public figure, space agency or other organisation is being announced here.
