MOYA is currently seeking businesses, companies, and community supporters who would like to partner with us in our mission to support grieving families.

As we continue our 2026 mission, we are hoping to expand our outreach within the community so families know they are not alone — both those currently needing support and those who may unfortunately need our resources in the future.

At this time, we are specifically seeking sponsorships or donations for:
• A vinyl event sign/banner
• Refrigerator magnets with our contact information for easy access during times of need

Every contribution helps us continue reaching families with compassion, support, and resources during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Monetary donations can also be made at any Napoleon State Bank.

If you or your business would be interested in helping support MOYA, please contact us at:

Thank you for helping us continue to serve families in our community. ❤️

As Nurse’s Week comes to an end, we would like to introduce our President and Founder, Amber Bruser.

Amber is a native to Osgood (Ripley County), dedicated wife, mother, registered nurse, advocate, and community leader committed to serving others through compassion, resilience, and advocacy. As the proud mother of three children, including one child held forever in heaven at the age of 19, she brings profound empathy, strength, and understanding to both her personal and professional life.
Amber earned her degree in Business Administration from Ivy Tech Community College before pursuing her passion for healthcare through nursing. She graduated Cum Laude with her Associate of Science in Nursing from Beckfield College, where she served as President of BCANS, worked as a student tutor and ambassador, and received the Nursing Leader Through Persistence Award. She continues to further her nursing education while expanding her work in advocacy, leadership, and community outreach.
As both a childhood sexual abuse survivor and domestic violence survivor, Amber courageously uses her voice to raise awareness, support survivors, and encourage healing for individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, and adversity. Her lived experiences have fueled a deep passion for advocacy, particularly for women, children, first responder families, and those facing unimaginable loss or hardship.
Proudly married to a law enforcement officer and being the mother to a volunteer firefighter, Amber also understands the unique sacrifices and challenges experienced by first responder families. Her dedication to service extends far beyond healthcare, with years of involvement in youth organizations, Cub Scouts, church initiatives, volunteer work, and community improvement efforts.
Known for her authenticity, compassion, and unwavering determination, Amber leads with empathy and strives to create safe spaces where others feel seen, heard, supported, and empowered. Through her role as President and Founder of MOYA, she continues to advocate for meaningful change while inspiring others to learn how to “move with” their grief, heal through resilience, and thrive with purpose.

As Mother’s Day approaches, I know for many it brings a mix of emotions. It’s a beautiful day to celebrate the ones who made you a mother, while also carrying the ache for the child you miss more with each passing day. It’s a complicated blend of joy, gratitude, love, and grief that only those who walk this path can truly understand.

Through the hugs, gifts, flowers, and cards, you smile and feel appreciated here on earth. Yet deep inside, Mother’s Day has been forever changed. A piece of your heart is missing, and the day will never feel completely whole again.

To every mother carrying both love and loss this Mother’s Day — you are seen, remembered, and deeply understood. You all are in our thoughts in the following days and always.

With love,
MOYA
