The majority of individuals in a homeless shelter at any given time are women and their children. These women are typically victims of domestic violence and are fleeing an abusive home looking to start over in a safe environment. Many other women in shelters are single mothers who lost their jobs due to unforeseen circumstances and need help to get back on their feet. Regardless of the situation that led these women to homelessness, they need support - both physical and emotional - to transition to a better life for themselves and their children. BRAWS mission is to support these women by providing new (tags on, only) bras and underwear, as well as feminine hygiene supplies. Unbeknownst to many people, these are some of the most requested critical needs by women in shelters. New bras and underwear and tampons, pads, and pantyliners are rarely donated, expensive items for a shelter to replenish, and not covered by food stamps. Insufficient access to these items often leads to unsanitary conditions and health problems.
Connections and You, Inc. (CYI), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established in October of 2008 with a desire to help young men become better people in our society. CYI provides a very comprehensive mentoring program called, The Distinguished Gentlemen's Club. We believe that although manners takes an individual a long way, a positive character will take them further. In this program we concentrate on establishing and building positive character into these young men, which would ultimately cause these GENTLEMEN to be DISTINGUISHED, in their schools, in their community, in their families, and in society. Our mission is to connect caring adults with children that would assist in cultivating and building positive character in them through intentional mentoring. We seek to challenge positive men and women to engage the mind and soul of a child, ultimately bringing about productive citizens in society. F/K/A Connections and You
