As a single mother, she was heavily reliant on her friends and family for childcare, transportation to treatment and meal preparation. “I realize that I wanted something to come from what I went through.

These women not only face financial hardships, but mental, and, of course, physical anguish as well. This strain can have long lasting effects on both mother and child, while also hindering the focus on recovery. Bridgevine, being sympathetic to this particular need, and of course privy to Finley’s struggle, was more than happy to contribute to the cause.
