My Nonprofit Reviews

Some people dream or talk about doing great things…and some people just do them. Though it’s tough to admit it I’m undoubtedly a dreamer, and occasionally a talker. For many years now I have dreamed of winning the lotto and have always talked about buying a large apartment complex to house single mothers where I would let them live for free while putting them through school. It would be a place that provided these women with a real chance at life…a chance to end the cycle of poverty...and while I was dreaming, others were doing.

Most don’t know it but there is a little house in Hernando County that sits on the grounds of a church. It was run down and shabby not long ago. There also exists in Hernando County a group of doers…a group of dedicated people who recognized that a big dream often starts with small steps. They called upon the community to help restore the “Little House” and had the fortitude to take a dilapidated structure and transform it into a home that will transform the lives of it’s residents. It will be home to young, single moms and their babies who are at risk of becoming homeless. The moms will have shelter, food, toys, acceptance and mentors. They will participate in a three year program and the goal is to have prepared each young mom in terms of skills, initiative, personal vision, maturity, and overall wellness. The Life Center will enable her to step into a life of healthy, responsible independence and self-sufficiency that she has created for herself rather than living a life which she has little or no control over. So many people in our community have given and continue to give to this worthy cause. The dedicated people who have worked tirelessly (and continue to do so) are simply wonderful. They have a heart to serve others and to give these young women and children a shot at a great life.

This organization needs help to ensure that it can continue on and work miracles in the lives of young people that need this kind of support. I run a community website and volunteer my services to The Life Center of Hernando by managing their Facebook page and bringing awareness through my site.

I believe in the power of one. If one person is a doer then the world is better. If just one person completes this program and has a great life as a result then it was a success. Dreaming big is essential to living your best life, but it is equally as important to recognize that sometimes just doing something small is great…and it’s certainly better then doing nothing at all (while waiting to win the lotto). The Life Center is helping these young women take the small steps necessary to reach their big dreams.
