THE LIGHT POST
When "Kathy" was accepted into the BRM program,
it meant that she not only had a place to live, but
also that her 8-year-old son could be reunited with
her -- AFTER TWO YEARS APART!
Financial difficulties combined with Kathy’s health
condition had rendered them homeless two years
ago and living in their car.
Without access to needed medication, she was
hospitalized and her son was placed in foster care.
After she was released from the hospital, she
struggled to maintain her health so she could afford
stable housing, which was a condition of
reunification. “I knew having housing would be the
only way to get my son back,” she explained.
Her son’s foster family reached out to BRM
about availability. The foster care oversight
team shared that her acceptance into the BRM
program was a key factor in their decision to
move forward with the reunification.

We know Brevard Rescue Mission’s reputation and that
this family will receive the support they need to move forward.
Now in the BRM program, this BRM mom has
stable housing and ongoing case management
to help her meet her financial, educational,
employment and health-related goals.
“My son and I are very excited,” Kathy said.
“I can now plan a future with him!”

P A G E 3THE LIGHT POST
Before coming to BRM, a single mother with three
children was living with her parents, working full time,
and paying outrageous daycare expenses that didn’t
allow her to save money for a place of her own.
“Since coming to BRM, I’ve been able to pay off debt,
set up an emergency fund and put money into savings.
It’s such a great feeling to get ahead.”
She has learned to create a monthly budget, pay her bills
on time and is excited to be saving for a deposit on her
own apartment.
During weekly case management meetings and financial
classes, the residents of BRM identify areas of
unnecessary spending and learn the importance of
paying bills on time to increase credit scores in
anticipation of renting. This spring, they are filing their
taxes and making a detailed plan for how they will
allocate money wisely from their returns.
“I’m finally able to lay the foundation for my family’s
future. There’s a light at the end of our tunnel.”

MOMS ARE OPENING THEIR FIRST-EVER SAVINGS ACCOUNTS!

"I lived in 33 foster homes and 2 emergency
shelters as a child," explained a BRM mom at the recent annual Impact 100 Partner event.
"Homeless moms learn they're valuable and
loved," said Lief Johnson, BRM Board Chair. "Their current circumstances are not the
definition of who they are. God has a purpose
for their lives and their children's lives that go
far beyond their current circumstances.
Here, they are introduced to Hope!"
