Help Us Begin
Someone looking for understanding. A family with difficult questions. A neighbor who wants to help but doesn’t know where to begin.
We’re building Nevada Vax Watch to help people find connection, clear information and a welcoming place to begin. Your support can help turn years of preparation into compassionate service for our Nevada neighbors.
Beginning in Clark County.Building toward serving all Nevadans.
People. Connection. Possibility.
Out in our community
Help us bring Nevada Vax Watch to farmers markets in Clark County—meeting neighbors face to face, listening and sharing useful resources.
What we learn locally will help shape an approach that can eventually serve all Nevadans, expanding as our capacity grows.
Clarity for families
Help us create clear, accessible materials about informed consent, Nevada’s vaccine-exemption laws and the official forms families need.
Beginning with our vaccine-law and exemption guide, we’ll support thoughtful questions and informed decisions—for Nevadans today and for future generations.
Explore our first resourcesA place to belong
Help us launch Together Tuesdays: welcoming opportunities for conversation, shared learning and community.
A place to ask questions, listen and get to know one another.
Understanding and support
Help lay the groundwork for future survivor gatherings, events and resources.
Developed with the people we hope to serve, these efforts will create opportunities for understanding, participation and connection.
An open door online
Help us strengthen our website and develop an accessible, easy-to-use digital platform for resources, events and community participation.
Our ambition is world-class quality with a personal, local welcome.
Growing with care
Support the careful development and launch of our online community—a calmer place for vaccine-injury survivors, their families and neighbors to connect, find useful resources and learn from one another.
We’re building a community that listens and learns as it grows, supporting thoughtful conversations and meaningful informed consent.
Everyone is welcome to contribute to our mission—through their experience, knowledge, questions or a willingness to help.
Behind it, we’re preparing the technology, safeguards and human stewardship needed to grow with care.
These are the priorities we’re working toward. We’ll introduce activities as funding, preparation and our ability to serve people responsibly allow.
Looking ahead · 2027
The relationships we build, the resources we create and the lessons we learn from our Nevada neighbors will help cultivate the foundation for The Zara Project, planned for 2027.
Your support helps build a lasting foundation for connection, education and meaningful informed consent—for our Nevada neighbors now and for future generations.

If this work speaks to you, I’d welcome the opportunity to talk about what helping us begin could look like—through a contribution, a community partnership, your skills or an introduction.
For a closer look, our Founding Investment Memorandum and 12-Month Launch & Validation Plan are available for invited private review.
You don’t need to arrive with a decision. Questions are welcome.
