You Make a Difference for Families like Vickie’s 

​

Vickie is a single mother of three who was blindsided when her employer unexpectedly closed their doors. Bills piled up, the power was shut off, and Vickie fell behind on her mortgage. Feeling hopeless, Vickie reached out to Bridges of Hope and was relieved to have guidance and support to sort through her many challenges. She focused on her children and job searching while we connected her with a local agency to get her power back on. Vickie was so relieved to find a new job that fit her family’s needs. Through our Spirit of Kindness Fund, we helped the family with a mortgage payment and the future started to look much brighter for Vickie and the kids.

 

Reflecting on her experience, she shared, “Bridges of Hope helped me when I was completely overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. I feel like I can breathe again. Thank you so much!”​
