Britt's Bunch

A lot of what we do happens quietly, and I’m proud of that. We’ll always share the fun days, the celebrations, the smiles and the happy moments. And yes, we’ll share stories too, especially when we’re trying to help a family or get them what they need or bring awareness to a systemic problem.

Life happens. Things happen that none of us plan for!

If Britt’s Bunch helps you, you'll never owe us a post, a picture, a public thank you or your story. Some people want to share their story in hopes that it helps someone else feel a little less alone or a little more comfortable reaching out for help. And we’re good with that. Some people would rather keep it private, and we’re good with that too.

People can be judgmental enough. When someone is already going through something hard, they shouldn’t also have to worry about everyone knowing about it.

Not every hard season needs to come with a name tag.
Sometimes helping is just helping. ❤️

We’ve been working with a mom who is currently living in a battered women’s shelter with her two year old after going through an awful lot.
She called me today to give me an update and apologized profusely for calling me during lunchtime. 😂 Just when you start to wonder about people, things like this happen!
I’ll tell you what, this mama is determined. She goes to every career fair she can find, follows up on job listings, takes meticulous, notes, and rides buses all over the place trying to get herself back on her feet.
One day the shelter paid for an Uber to get her downtown. Her next stop was an office about 25 minutes away, and instead of asking them to pay for another Uber, she walked. She told me someone else might need that Uber from the shelter more than she did. That tells you everything you need to know about her.
Right now we’re helping her get her learner’s permit. I can teach her the basics in a big parking lot, but she really needs a good driving school. Anyone have one they love and reasonably priced?
Once we get her driving, we’re going to work on her resume and help her find something that can hopefully turn into a long term career.
She is doing everything she can to build a better life for herself and her child. She just needs a little help getting there. ♥️

Today we started helping our sweet mama who recently lost both her baby and her spouse. A huge thank you to Amy Van Bergen, Lori Allen and Britt! We definitely put a dent in it today. It’s going to take several trips, but little by little we’re helping her get organized and moving toward healing. ❤️‍🩹

**And I’d like to add that she’s going back to school and taking classes so she can get a better job to take care of her family. It’s a lot and overwhelming, and she cries…often, but she’s also hopeful and lovely and refuses to give up.

For the past few months I’ve been trying to help a woman who has been through some pretty serious trauma. She kept asking me if I could help her find a job because she wants to help support her family.

It hasn’t been easy. A lot of places just don’t want to deal with someone who has been through what she has.

But we kept trying.

I’m really happy to say we finally found someone willing to give her a chance. I’ll be meeting her there and actually working alongside her to help teach her the job skills she’ll need so she can be successful, and out of poverty.

We’re also getting her set up with Lynx transportation and making sure she has comfortable work shoes and clothes so she can show up feeling confident and ready.

Our hope is that after she’s there for a bit, this will turn into a permanent position for her.

While Britt’s Bunch is still in the process of becoming vocational rehab providers (which seems to take forever), this is one of the things I love about what we do. We don’t just send someone off and wish them luck. We’re right there beside them.

I’m really excited for her. Stay tuned.

No faces. No fanfare. Just a family getting a washing machine and dryer, giving them one less thing to worry about. That’s the good stuff.

When people picture struggle, poverty, or homelessness, they usually see one image. Someone standing on a corner. Someone in a shelter. A tent. A cardboard sign.
But that’s not the whole picture. Not even close.

Some of the most struggling families don’t look like what we’ve been taught to imagine. They’re the single mom getting up every morning, dropping her kids at school, and going to work all day, then lying awake at night wondering how she’s going to put dinner on the table. They’re the single dad choosing between gas to get to work or buying new socks for his kids because the ones they have are full of holes. They’re grandparents raising their grandchildren on a fixed income, doing the very best they can and still coming up short.

Struggle doesn’t always look like homelessness. It can look like a job. A paycheck. A car in the driveway. And still not enough.

It looks like kids who get invited to birthday parties but don’t go because their family can’t afford a gift.
It looks like kids who say “I’m busy” when friends invite them to the movies, because an afternoon out costs more than people realize.
It looks like passing on the mall, skipping school events, or staying quiet so no one notices your shoes are too small or your hoodie is worn thin.

Some of our most struggling families work every single day. They show up. They try. They do everything right, and still fall behind.

So when we talk about poverty, about homelessness, about families in need, we have to widen the lens. We have to change the picture in our minds. Because the faces of struggle are all around us, often unseen, often unheard, and they deserve to be seen too.

It’s and Britt's Bunch is asking for your support today.
No one here is paid, so every gift goes straight to families here in Central Florida who need a little help to get back on their feet.

Some are caring for a sick child. Some are facing an unexpected situation that turned their whole world upside down. Some just need someone to walk beside them so they can take that next step forward.

If you believe in this mission, we would be so grateful for your support today. Thank you! ♥️

Britt's Bunch's mission is to help wherever there is a need by providing activities and resources for Florida children and families with economic and/or health challenges.
