I’m a mother of four beautiful children, and it’s been quite the journey with many ups and downs. But through it all, I’m still here, breathing and able to share my story. Thrive has been a huge part of my life for nearly six years now, and I can’t help but tear up thinking about how long I’ve been a part of such an amazing community. The staff here have been incredible, seeing my family and me truly thrive. I’m forever grateful for the caring, helpful people who have never judged me or my needs at any point. Every time I come, I leave with something I didn’t even realize I needed.

Being part of Thrive has been a true blessing. I love the activities, outings, and all the things planned for us. The Mother’s Day photoshoot was such a memorable experience for me and my children. We’ve had so many incredible experiences because of what Thrive offers.

As a single mother, it’s tough to give my kids the best experiences in life. The support I’ve received from Thrive—whether it’s clothing, food, activities, or outings—has made all the difference. These things can be hard to come by for low-income families, and Thrive has made it possible for us to enjoy things we wouldn’t otherwise be able to.

I want the staff to know how truly grateful we are for their kindness. They work together to bring hope to those who may have lost it, and I know that firsthand. Thrive has the ability to restore that hope, no matter how small or big the gesture. My family and I always feel welcomed here, and I am so proud to be a part of Thrive!

I just tear up thinking of how long I’ve been part of an amazing community, insanely incredible staff members who got to literally see my family and I truly thrive. I am forever grateful and so thankful to have known such caring and helpful kind people who never judged me at any point of myself coming there for any of my needs, needing to be met.
