I had been a single mom for many years and knew first hand what it was like to be alone and need help with things… not knowing where I could turn for help.  After tireless research trying to find support for my family, I discovered that there just weren’t many accessible financial support resources for single parent families within my community.

After my own family struggled through a trauma surrounding the birth of one of my grandchildren, I decided that this subject was one that was close to my heart and something that I would like to be able to help others with.

In Dec 2008 my idea for Blessing In Giving was born – a non-profit organization that would provide resources and financial assistance to local families dealing with the loss of a child and to single parent families struggling to make ends meet.

My primary passion is helping the single parent families within my own community of Hendricks County, Indiana and neighboring Morgan County.  The foremost goal of Blessing In Giving is to lend a helping hand and assist local families towards becoming self sufficient. My long term goal is for Blessing in Giving to grow large enough to be able to help and support families throughout Indiana and even beyond.

I am fully aware (having been there myself) of that horrible feeling of being lost and alone. It’s truly an awful place to be.  However, I want to stress that Blessing In Giving, is not about offering a “hand out” to anyone.

Blessing in Giving is a support system providing families with a much needed helping hand to get them back up and on their feet.

And hopefully, in the near not so distant future, those same families will be able to pay it forward and offer their own helping hand to someone else in need.

Please take my hand and let’s begin this journey together.
