Motivation to keep it going

We at Be the Gift like to enhance the lives of our Single Mom’s with home repair assistance, support, encouragement, and love. Why, you may ask do we do what we do. The answer is simple. We care and we can help! 

Be the Gift exists for single moms who struggle to make hard decisions on a regular basis about paying for necessities like food, clothing, child care, health care and transportation, making home repairs prohibitive; not by choice but because of lack of skill, time and finances. 

One Mom that we helped this year wrote this thank you message to us:

"Everyone was kind, supportive and no judgment, I was so grateful, they did so much work in my home. I feel so blessed and loved from everyone. Before Be the Gift team came I felt so depressed and overwhelmed by everything that needed repaired and I knew I needed help but didn’t have the funds to do it and I work full time. Now I come home everyday and feel joy and am proud of my home. It has motivated me to keep going and fix it up to be our happy home again!  

My daughter, who is a teenager finally has privacy to her room because of the door they replaced. My sink in the kitchen, I no longer have to worry about it flooding water everywhere. My outlets now work, and I can plug in lamps!  I was very touched that they brought lunch for the volunteers and invited my daughter and I to eat with them. We had good conversations and prayed together, it was a beautiful experience."

This year, we have already worked in the homes of 19 Single Moms. Our Staff and amazing Volunteers are privileged to provide this gift day after day and week after week. 

The feeling of being loved and supported is necessary for the survival of all of us. With great appreciation, we thank you for believing in the vision of Be the Gift

There is much more to do so we invite you to continue with us on this journey. Donations are always welcome and needed.

Stay in touch!!
