Empower Families: Support More From Life Therapy

Donation protected
Help Us Bring More From Life Therapy to Life!

Hi, I’m Bri Sheets — a pediatric occupational therapist, mom, and longtime advocate for whole-child, whole-family care. After over a decade of serving children in school settings, I’m now opening More From Life Therapy, a family-centered pediatric clinic in Vandalia, Ohio.

Our mission is to empower families and help children thrive through occupational therapy, academic coaching, preschool & kindergarten readiness, social skills groups, and caregiver education — all under one roof. We'll also have a caregiver relaxation room, because we believe supporting parents is just as important as supporting kids.

Why We're Fundraising

Starting a clinic from scratch is an incredible (and expensive!) journey. While I’ve already invested significant personal funds and applied for a small business loan, the loan process has been slower than expected. We're now at a crucial point: a property may soon be available, and I need to show I can cover early expenses like:

  • Lease deposits & rent for the first few months
  • Basic therapy equipment and furnishings
  • Payroll for my small, highly qualified team
  • Initial software and setup costs

Our financial projections are strong — we anticipate reaching profitability within 5–6 months of opening — but we need help bridging the gap to get started.

What Your Support Means

Every dollar helps bring this vision to life — a space where:

  • Kids build life-changing skills
  • Parents find resources and relief
  • Families feel seen, supported, and empowered
---

Why It Matters

Families are facing long waitlists for therapy — often 6+ months — and few clinics offer truly holistic support for both children and caregivers. We’re changing that. With your help, we’ll create a space that is nurturing, empowering, and rooted in compassion.

If you’ve ever seen a child light up with confidence or watched a parent feel less alone, you know what a difference this can make.

Thank you for believing in this vision. I can’t wait to open our doors and welcome the community into More From Life.

With love and gratitude,
Bri
