Be The Gift

When her daughter nominated her for Be the Gift, she shared that her mom was raising her two young grandchildren and needed some help around the home. With an older deck, a porch that needed attention, and an ADA accommodation for her oldest grandson that included a fence, creating a safer outdoor space was especially important for their family.

Our volunteers got to work, removing the old deck and building a new one. They also added steps to the shed, replaced a screen door, and repaired a light switch that hadn’t worked in years.

But the biggest difference may be what the family can do now.

They shared with us that the kids are able to get outside with ease.

And that’s the part that stays with us. A grandmother caring for two little ones now has a space where they can get outside more easily, enjoy their home, and simply be kids.

"What touched us most was how determined and careful you were with every detail. You treated our home like it truly mattered. As a single mom without family nearby, that kind of care meant more than I can put into words. It made both me and my daughter feel supported and less alone.
Organizations like yours are such a blessing to families like ours. You don’t just fix houses—you bring safety, dignity, and hope to single moms and their children who need it most. We are deeply grateful you came into our lives."

Shout out to the Loveland-Berthoud Association of Realtors - LBAR, for partnering with Be the Gift to help one of the moms we serve!

LBAR spent the day getting her home ready for a much needed exterior paint project. Their team tackled the prep work that needed to be done before the painting could begin, helping get the home one step closer to meeting her homeowners insurance requirements.

We’re so thankful to the LBAR team for giving their time and putting in the work to help get this home ready. We truly appreciate having community partners who are willing to jump in and help make things happen. 💛

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight 🌟

At Be the Gift, we believe every volunteer has a story worth sharing. Their compassion, generosity, and willingness to serve make a lasting difference in the lives of the families we support. Each month, we are honored to recognize volunteers whose hearts for serving reflect the mission of Be the Gift.

This month, we are excited to spotlight Rigo, whose desire to serve others began long before he found Be the Gift. After years of serving, stepping away, and feeling that little nudge in his heart to get back into it, he found his way to Be the Gift and a place where he could use his skills to make a difference in the lives of others.

💙 Why did you choose to give your time to Be the Gift?

“Ever since I gave my life to Christ, I had a desire to help people, with single moms and the elderly in mind, but how, I asked myself. So after a few years of serving in the children’s ministry, going on missions trips to Mexico, seeing the need to help people with their homes, it became clear I needed to learn how to do home repairs and the idea was to eventually be financially stable in order to help people with their home repair needs full time. Unfortunately, didn’t happen that way.

So life happened and I stopped serving, but I had this little nudge in my heart to get back into it. Then one day before church service started, I noticed some tables with info about how to get involved in different things through the church. Then I saw the BTG table and had to see what that was all about and bingo, I found an organization that has been doing this for years. Then I knew I needed to connect and so I did.”

💙 How has volunteering with Be the Gift impacted your life?

“My heart rejoices when I see a smile on their faces, it’s priceless and it makes me come alive.”

💙 How have you seen it impact the lives of single-mom families?

“I’ve seen the not so good, the bad and the ugly when we go into these homes and we can see, feel the impact some of these repairs means to these moms from the simplest of them to the more complex of them.

One day I heard this phrase and since then it has been embedded in my heart: ‘See a need, fill a need,’ and has become my motto.

Thanks again and blessings to you all. Be The Gift is Legit.”

Rigo, thank you for sharing your heart and for continuing to use your skills to serve others. We’re grateful that little nudge led you to Be the Gift and that you’re helping us see a need and fill a need for the families we serve.

Thank you for being part of the gift. ❤️

Creating a safe home for her daughter was something this mom cared deeply about, but the repairs her home needed had become more than she could manage on her own.

Water damage from the roof had made its way into the home, several outlets were loose and unsecured, and the missing back porch meant the family had only one usable exit. She had been doing her best to patch things, make repairs, and stretch every dollar, but some things were simply beyond what she could handle alone.

Our volunteers and supporters gave this mom something she was hoping for: peace of mind. Knowing her daughter was coming home to a safer space meant she could spend a little less time worrying about what might break next.

We’re grateful we could help make her home a little safer and give this family one less thing to worry about. 💛

For 50 years, The Group Real Estate has been part of the Northern Colorado community, and their commitment to giving back is something we’re so grateful to experience firsthand. 💛

We can’t even begin to put into words how incredibly grateful we are. This $50,000 Impact Grant is truly such a blessing, not only to Be the Gift, but most importantly to the moms we serve. This support will help make our expansion into Weld County possible while allowing us to continue the work we’re already doing in our community. We’re so excited for the opportunity to reach more moms and help more families have a safe place to call home.

Thank you, The Group, for believing in Be the Gift and investing in the work we do. We’re so grateful to have you alongside us! 💛

GroupGives is thrilled to award Be The Gift this year’s $50,000 Impact Grant to help them expand into Weld County.

For 18 years, they’ve turned houses into safe, healthy homes for single-mother families, at no cost. They also share tools and know-how so families can handle future repairs on their own.

The Group has supported Be the Gift for years through grants and volunteer hours, and we’re proud to keep showing up.

Congratulations, Be The Gift. ✨

Shout out to The Group Real Estate for partnering with Be the Gift for Group Gives Back Day!

The Group Gives team spent the day helping one of the moms we serve care for her home and take a little stress off her shoulders.

Her homeowners insurance had given her a deadline to get the exterior of her home painted or risk losing her coverage. Group Gives got to work, painting her home and repairing a rotted area near the gutter that needed attention too.

We are so thankful to the Group Realty team for giving their time, working hard, and showing up for her when she needed a helping hand.

Thank you for partnering with Be the Gift and making a real difference for one of the families we serve! ❤️
