What is Rainbow Oleander?
Rainbow Oleander is a one-person operation. When it comes to struggle, I am an experienced professional. Rainbow Oleander was created to share my story and life experience as a way to help and motivate others. I plan, in time, to add content to this site to direct people to community resources for a variety of needs. This website is also, in part, a blog to share my story and experiences. I aim to remain a judgment-free zone and will allow comments on the blog portion of the site. As time allows, I will add pages with information that has helped me and my family overcome a multitude of obstacles and difficulties that life has thrown our way.
