“My client advocate had been the greatest help to me through this difficult time, and I’m so happy I chose to do ĒMA.”

“Before ĒMA, life felt like one crisis after another. I was overwhelmed trying to hold everything together for my kids. Through ĒMA, I finally finished something and that graduation meant the world to me. When we lost our daughter, the love and support from my advocate, Bravely, and our church carried us through. I’ll never forget how they showed up for us.”

“When I first came to Bravely, I didn’t even know if I wanted to keep my baby. I’d lost so much, including my first little boy, and I was just trying to survive. My advocate and the team at Bravely saw me through every step and they reminded me that joy was still possible. Now, my baby is here, we have a home, a church, and a fresh start as a family. I’m so thankful for how Bravely walked beside me.”
