This Mother's Day, and every day, your Bridge House Brownies purchases and gifts do more than celebrate those you love. It supports a mom working her way back to her children.
After her marriage ended, her mother passed, and alcohol took hold, Ashley made the hardest decision of her life—leaving her young children in safe hands to find a way forward.
With no money and one bus ride between her and something better, she arrived at Bridge House’s Navigation Center in Englewood. Within a week, she was on her way to the Ready to Work program in Boulder.
Six months later, she’s the lead baker at Bridge House Brownies.
This Mother’s Day, Ashley is baking brownies for other moms while rebuilding her own life. She now sees her 11-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son every week, traveling 4.5 hours roundtrip to be with them.
“It’s the best part of my week—and worth every minute.”
When asked about baking for other moms this Mother’s Day, she smiled, “We all love chocolate. Being able to bake for other moms is special."
