THE INDIVIDUAL BUILDING BLOCKS BEHIND OUR SMALL ORGANIZATION

OUR FOUNDERS

Picture
We would like to tell you a story of a young girl. She lives in a small community called Milton in the Dominican Republic. A community where poverty projects itself like we have never seen before. Standing in the midst of this poverty is an 18-year old girl with four children and a husband of 65 years old. She has impacted us in a way that I can never describe, but not because of the reality of her life, but because of her smile and the love she showed me when we first visited her community. Over the past ten years I have always known I was meant to be here in the Dominican Republic, but as I have peeled back the layers of this beautiful country I have truly uncovered my purpose. Meeting my husband was a life-changing moment that led to a friendship, a love and a life companion that has completed me in every sense. Seeing his own country through the eyes of our families lit a fire in his soul. Together we dreamed BRP, we created BRP and we continue to build our organization. 

Building homes was where my personal journey began, but saving lives together as husband and wife is our passion. Looking past the beautiful smile of this young girl we uncovered the past, present and future of her life. That being the life of a child sold at 11 years old, the life of abuse and violence and the complete dissolution of any future dreams. As children I think one of the things we enjoyed the most was dreaming. What do you want to be when you grow up? A question many of us remember. Children stuck in generational poverty do dream, it simply ends when they realize that their life is exactly what they dreamed it would not be. Breaking that cycle os intergenerational poverty is exactly where we have chosen to begin our life's work with BRP.
