Mrs. Brandee is not only a dedicated paraeducator, but someone I’m proud to call both a business partner and a close friend. We first met through our work and quickly bonded over our shared passion for education and our commitment to supporting children and families in our community.

For several years, Brandee devoted herself fully to her family as a stay-at-home mom. Like many mothers, she faced challenges along the way. It was through a local moms group that she found encouragement, support, and a renewed sense of purpose. That experience deeply impacted her life. Having been uplifted during a difficult season, Brandee felt called to give back—so she created and now leads her own moms group, offering guidance, support, and empowerment to other women navigating motherhood.

Before this chapter, Brandee built a career working with children in ABA therapy and later supporting adults with special needs—always guided by her heart for helping others grow and thrive.

Recently, Brandee and her family experienced a devastating loss. Her car was stolen from a Walmart parking lot, and inside were the very tools she used to serve her students: floor mats for circle time, musical instruments, crafts, and even our mini library. In addition, many of her family’s personal belongings were taken, including her children’s taekwondo gear, technology, and other essential items.

Brandee and her family had invested what little savings they had to turn her dream into reality. As a one-income household working toward rebuilding and returning to the workforce, this loss has been overwhelming. Yet even in the face of hardship, Brandee continues to show incredible resilience. She still holds her classes every Tuesday and Thursday, determined not to let her families down despite having to rebuild from almost nothing.

We are asking for the support of our community to help replace her teaching supplies and assist her family in securing reliable transportation again. Your generosity will not only help restore what was lost, but will allow Brandee to continue providing a nurturing, enriching environment for the children she serves and a supportive space for the mothers she leads.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Even sharing this page helps more than you know.
