You Matter - Brady's Bunch
Hi!
I'm Brady's Mom, Brooke!
We are officially licensed as a NPO through the state of Ohio and have our 501(c)3!
Our Mission:
When you donate something you are supporting a family who's ultimate goal is to comfort hurting people.
We want as many people as we (and YOU) can touch to know:
You are not alone.
There is hope.
Keep going.
Keep fighting!
You are seen.
You are heard.
You are loved!
YOU MATTER.
We look forward to continuing our mission and creating more products that you love!
Our story:
Brady's sister's Lori & Kenzie, Brady's step-dad Rod and I, Brooke, (his Mom) want everyone to know:
YOU are a gift to earth, specifically designed and created from a creator that loves you very much. Life can be a roller coaster with its ups and downs, but you can still prevail and enjoy the ride. We may be a stranger to you, but we do care.
You may have seen our signs, shirts, wristbands, decals, etc
I lost my son, Brady, to suicide (1.6.18). Yes, suicide. That horrible word noone wants to talk about. The pain of losing a child (no matter the circumstances) is the most excruciating pain you can feel. Your child's book ended too soon. Chapters left unwritten. The "whys" that we all wonder. I want to everyone who who sees any of our products to be reminded that "YOU MATTER & #ItsNotWeakToSpeak!"
I've had lots of different things said to me. I'm sad for those people who have come to me and said things such as, "Why would your God allow that? How are you still ok with God?" Yes, these comments make me sad, but God didn't "allow" this to happen.
I continue to go back to my roots, my core.
I am a Christian.
I love God.
My faith, my church, Air1, KLove, WBCL, WTGN, YES FM, BOOST 101.9 have been the only things that have gotten me through this disaster on those lonely nights that I cannot sleep. (I have a special “thing” I love about each of those stations! Just ask me!!)
Brady had a HUGE heart. He wanted everyone happy, everyone smiling, everyone to be "ok." He just didn’t tell us that he wasn’t “ok.” #ItsNotWeakToSpeak
We want to find purpose through our pain. Brady would want that.
We added "Brady's Bunch" to our name because there are so many of you rallying around us, keeping us strong, pushing us, keeping us positive, praying for us, donating, and helping us with the "You Matter" project! It takes a community - therefore it's a "bunch."
Love you all and THANK YOU for all the support you have shown to us!! We ALL are making a huge difference!
Love,
Brooke
