Who We Are

Jesus Christ - Our Foundation & Guide

Everything we do at The Bridge is because of Him. Jesus is our reason, our purpose, and the source of the compassion we extend to every person we meet. He showed us how to love without conditions, serve without limits, and extend grace freely to all. Our mission is to love people the way Jesus loves — with open arms, a kind heart, and a willingness to walk alongside anyone in their time of need.

You do not have to believe what we believe to receive help here. There are no requirements, no barriers, and no judgment. Every person is welcome. We simply seek to reflect the love, grace, and compassion of Jesus in every act of service, every conversation, and every connection we make.

From a young age, I knew I was meant to create waves of change. I was the little girl who slipped through the cracks- homeless, unseen, and unheard. I cried out to God for someone to notice, to care, to save me. My childhood was a journey of constant moves, 16 schools, over 20 homes, boiling water for baths, lighting candles for warmth, and endlessly rehearsing new introductions. But those hardships equipped me for this calling.
Today, I use my voice to remind others of theirs- to bridge the gap for children and families who feel invisible, forgotten, or left behind. I was once the child shouting for help that no one could hear. Now, it is my mission to ensure every child is not only heard and seen but also welcomed, valued, and cherished.
They are the future. And I am here to help change it.

I grew up in a small town in Montana, where I learned early on the value of helping others and the power of true community. Life keeps me busy, but as I always say.. Busy is good. I’ve been with my husband for nine years, am raising two little ones under three, and share my home with three dogs, a few fish, and a collection of plants.
Giving back has always been at the center of who I am. I find joy in volunteering, serving my community, and working in spaces that are often overlooked or forgotten. I’m blessed to also work with A Case for Women, a legal advocacy service that helps individuals find the support they need during times of crisis. I look forward to the many gaps we will fill and the wonderful people we will meet along the way.
