In Memory of Brianna
Being locked in a cage and having no access to your children!
"I consider myself a survivor of incarceration. It is a Mom’s worst fear, not being able to reach your children when they need you.” Brie was mature in every way. She was only 18 when I landed on a Federal Prison bunk. In order to sustain our household, she had to leave college and work at a temp agency for a long period of time. She acquired two jobs, delivering for Amazon and I can still hear her last words; “Mom, I finally got a permanent job... working at a Law Firm in Newton. And Mom, they love me; They are teaching me how to become an administrative assistant!” I was so proud of her!
Every night I prayed for the safety of my children, but it still was not enough!
Losing Brie became the catalyst, a reason why homeownership is so important to me. It drives our work at BRIE'S Way. Having a loving home, a place to rest, to heal from the unaddressed trauma from incarceration, is key to a successful reentry. Brie was able to save my home and her legacy will be ensuring that every survivor of incarceration has a loving home and the skills needed to successfully reintegrate.
