										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hi everyone! I’m excited to share a cause very close to my heart today. Joining the board of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Greater Charlotte has been a fulfilling extension of my commitment to helping families in need. With a deep-rooted passion for community service, especially in healthcare and philanthropy, I feel privileged to support families facing medical challenges.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why Did I Decide to Join RMHC?</strong></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My journey with RMHC stems from a deep desire to significantly impact the lives of families dealing with their children’s serious medical conditions. With my background in healthcare, I profoundly understand the vital comfort, support, and resources that RMHC provides. It’s more than just a charity—it’s a lifeline for the families who stay with us. By alleviating concerns about accommodations and expenses, we remove a significant burden from their shoulders. <strong>Caring for a child with medical needs</strong> is already an immense challenge; these families shouldn’t have to face additional worries about their day-to-day needs.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-629" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/RMHC-event-picture-1-300x278.jpg" alt="RMHC event picture 1" width="300" height="278" />  <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-630" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/RMHC-event-picture-2-300x278.jpg" alt="RMHC event picture 2" width="300" height="278" /><br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-631" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/RMHC-event-picture-3-300x278.jpg" alt="RMHC event picture 3" width="300" height="278" />  <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-632" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/RMHC-event-buffet-300x278.jpg" alt="RMHC event buffet" width="300" height="278" /></p>
<p><strong>How Am I Contributing to RMHC?</strong></p>
<p>As a board member, my focus is on strengthening our leadership within the community by expanding our outreach, resources, and fundraising efforts. I’m currently active on the fundraising committee, where we work tirelessly to ensure the sustainability and expansion of our services. My goals are to enhance the support we offer and ensure that no family has to endure their child’s medical journey alone.</p>
<h3>The Valuable Services Offered by RMHC</h3>
<p>Ronald McDonald House Charities offers invaluable services that provide families with a “home away from home” during incredibly tough times. Here’s a brief overview of the key services we proudly offer:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ronald McDonald Houses:</strong> These facilities are located near hospitals and provide families with private rooms, meals, and vital support services.</li>
<li><strong>Ronald McDonald Family Rooms:</strong> Situated inside hospitals, these rooms are sanctuaries for families to rest and recharge without straying far from their hospitalized child.</li>
<li><strong>Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles:</strong> These mobile health clinics deliver essential medical and dental services directly to underserved communities, ensuring care reaches those who might otherwise go without.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of these services aims to reduce the emotional and financial burden on families, helping them stay focused on their child’s recovery and well-being.</p>
<h3>Want to Get Involved?</h3>
<p>My involvement with RMHC is more than a duty to me. I am committed to bettering the lives of families during their most challenging moments. Through strategic planning and community engagement, I am dedicated to expanding the reach and depth of our support. Join me in this compassionate journey as we work together to bring more smiles, support, and stability to families walking through the doors of Ronald McDonald House. By the way, it’s a great time to join my mailing list as I’ll share updates and personal stories from my work with RMHC, giving you a closer look at the meaningful change we’re driving together.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">July has been an exhilarating month full of fashion, philanthropy, and fabulous finds. I’m thrilled to share some of my favorite moments and collaborations with you. From glamorous events to must-have fashion pieces, July has truly been a month to remember!</p>
<h6 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Veronica Beard’s “VB Gives Back” Event</strong></h6>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-764" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VB-Gives-Back.webp" alt="VB Gives Back" width="750" height="536" srcset="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VB-Gives-Back.webp 750w, https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VB-Gives-Back-480x343.webp 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 750px, 100vw" /></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The very next day, on July 17th, I hosted a special shopping event from 5-7 PM at Veronica Beard called “VB Gives Back.” This event was close to my heart as it benefited the Ronald McDonald House. It’s always a joy to merge my love for fashion with a cause that supports families during critical times. The evening was filled with fashion, compassion, and community support.</p>
<h6 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Diamonds Direct VIP Grand Opening</strong></h6>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-765" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VIP-Grand-Opening-Diamonds-Direct.webp" alt="VIP Grand Opening Diamonds Direct" width="600" height="1006" srcset="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VIP-Grand-Opening-Diamonds-Direct.webp 600w, https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VIP-Grand-Opening-Diamonds-Direct-480x805.webp 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 600px, 100vw" /></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the evening of July 18th, I had the pleasure of attending the VIP Grand Opening of Diamonds Direct. The atmosphere was electric, adorned with the most exquisite jewelry you can imagine. Held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the event featured delectable eats and drinks courtesy of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse. It was a night of luxury, laughter, and, of course, a little sparkle!</p>
<h6 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Louis Vuitton’s Poolside Takeover at Casa Neos Miami</strong></h6>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-766" src="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/My-Favorite-Things-July.webp" alt="Louis Vuitton’s Poolside Takeover at Casa Neos Miami" width="750" height="883" srcset="https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/My-Favorite-Things-July.webp 750w, https://achicalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/My-Favorite-Things-July-480x565.webp 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 750px, 100vw" /></p>
<div class="wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also had the incredible opportunity to attend Louis Vuitton’s first-ever U.S. poolside takeover at Casa Neos in Miami. The event was a celebration of their LV by the Pool women’s resort collection, transforming the space into a vibrant coastal paradise adorned with the brand’s iconic motifs. The beach club was decked out with Louis Vuitton’s signature coral, fuchsia, and tangerine hues, making it a surreal escape right in the heart of Miami. <a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AchicAlisa/posts/1e253639-3c71-11ef-acf0-0242ac11000e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shop this look.</a></p>
