LifeBridge's May Monthly Workshop will be on May 20th 5:30-7:30pm. This month's topic is "Understanding Bankruptcy" with our featured guest speaker, Tracy A Brown, CPA!

In 2003 she was appointed as a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Panel Trustee in the Eastern District of Missouri. She also holds a Texas CPA license which she earned in 1989.

She is no stranger to hard work and encourages others to look at the upside of any job opportunity. While preparing to start her firm she is always proud to say she worked 3 jobs: practicing law at a firm, teaching 3 night classes at Harris Stowe and working at Barnes & Noble on the weekends.

Help us reach our $5,000 goal this ! 💙

Today is the day! St. Louis is coming together to support the local non-profits that make our community shine, and LifeBridge is asking for your help.

We are raising $5,000 to support and expand our vital programs including our low-cost market and life-changing series like Mindset Matters. Your donation stays right here in Kirkwood to help neighbors navigate financial hurdles and build brighter futures.

Don’t just take our word for it. Here is what a recent participant in our Mindset Matters series had to share:

"I really enjoyed the classes and learned a lot how I can better manage my expenses and save for any emergency situation. I came to a new country far away from my relatives... this session will be useful for the next step of my life."

When you give to LifeBridge, you aren't just donating money, you are providing the tools for someone to succeed in a new chapter of their life.
