💙 About The Village Collection 💚

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

I'm a former corporate supervisor who made a strategic career transition to provide specialized, full time care for my Level 3 autistic child.

Now I'm launching a sustainable business to rebuild financial stability and I'm trusting God to help me through this journey.

**But here's the thing about villages: they're not built alone.**

The Village Collection isn't just a business. It's an invitation.

**An invitation to join a community that believes:**
- Parents caring for high needs kids deserve support, not judgment
- Career transitions for caregiving are strategic choices, not failures
- Faith + hard work + community = powerful provision
- We're stronger together than we ever could be alone
- Every purchase, every share, every prayer matters

**This is where corporate leadership meets purpose driven entrepreneurship meets faith meets YOU.**

**Will you join The Village?**

My Story 💚

I spent over a decade in corporate, working my way from entry-level to supervisor.

I led teams. I met goals. I built a successful career.

**Both my kids have autism and ADHD.**

One is Level 1 (requiring support).
One is Level 3 (requiring very substantial support including consistent supervision for safety).

**"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him." - Psalm 127:3**

God blessed me with these two amazing children — and I'm committed to caring for them well.

Why This Business Matters for My Health (And My Kids' Future) 💪

Here's something I don't talk about enough: **Level 3 care is physically demanding.**

My child requires:
- Constant physical supervision
- Elopement prevention (chasing, blocking, redirecting)
- Physical interventions during meltdowns
- Lifting and transferring
- 24/7 vigilance

**To care for them well not just now, but for YEARS, I need to be physically strong and healthy.**

But right now, I don't have time to workout. I don't have time for basic self-care. I'm running on empty and that's not sustainable.

**The Village Collection's success means:**

✅ Financial stability so I can afford help/respite occasionally
✅ Flexible schedule so I can workout while they're in therapy
✅ Physical health to keep up with demanding Level 3 care
✅ Longevity so I can care for them well for DECADES, not just today
✅ Energy to be present for BOTH kids
✅ Modeling healthy habits for my children

**"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20**

Taking care of my body isn't selfish it's stewardship. It's honoring the body God gave me so I can fulfill the calling He's given me: caring for these two precious kids.

**Your purchase helps me build a business that:**
- Supports my kids' therapy needs
- Creates financial stability
- Gives me TIME to care for my physical health
- Ensures I can provide excellent care for YEARS to come

**This isn't just about today. It's about being strong enough to care for my kids for the long haul.**

Thank you for helping me build something sustainable for their future AND mine.

The Strategic Pivot (And Why I Need The Village) 💙

As my Level 3 child's needs evolved, I recognized that they required more specialized, consistent support than I could provide while working full time corporate.

**My Level 3 child needs:**
- Consistent elopement prevention strategies
- Specialized behavior support
- Ongoing safety supervision
- Intensive therapeutic interventions

**I faced a difficult choice:**

Continue in corporate and provide partial attention to my children's complex needs.

Transition to full time specialized caregiving while building sustainable income through entrepreneurship.

**I chose my kids.**

Not because I couldn't handle corporate (my performance was strong).

Because my Level 3 child deserves optimal care and I'm the most qualified person to provide it.

**But leaving my supervisor salary meant losing:**
- Financial stability
- Health insurance
- Ability to afford $1,500-$4,000/month in therapy for both kids
- The security I'd worked over a decade to build

**This is where YOU come in.**

This is where The Village comes in.

**"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor." - Ecclesiastes 4:9**

I'm working hard. I'm trusting God. And I'm inviting you to be part of the solution.

How I'm Trusting God (And Inviting You In) 💚

I won't pretend this transition has been easy. Leaving a supervisor salary, rebuilding financial stability, managing Level 3 care 24/7 it's hard.

**But I'm trusting God to help me through and I'm already seeing His faithfulness:**

✝️ **He reminded me that my corporate skills weren't wasted**
Every leadership skill, every business lesson, every challenge I faced climbing to supervisor I'm using all of it now. God was preparing me.

✝️ **He's giving me strength on the hard days**
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" - 2 Corinthians 12:9

✝️ **He gave me the vision for The Village Collection**
When I didn't know how I'd provide financially while staying home for Level 3 care, God gave me this idea: build something that works with my reality and invites others into the mission.

✝️ **He's teaching me that provision comes through community**
"Give us today our daily bread." - Matthew 6:11
I'm learning that God's provision often comes through His people. Through YOU. Through The Village.

✝️ **He's showing me this isn't just about my family**
God is using this story to encourage other parents facing similar transitions showing them they're not alone and there is hope.

**I didn't choose this hardship. But I'm choosing to work hard, trust God, and invite you to join me.**

**This is how villages work. This is how God provides. Through community.**

Funding ABA therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social skills development, and executive function support helping both kids get the consistent therapy they desperately need and currently can't afford.

Investing in inventory, marketing, and infrastructure to scale this business long term so eventually we can help OTHER families too.

**Prove that parents can provide both excellent specialized care AND financial stability when they have faith, work hard, and have a supportive community behind them.**

**"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory." - Ephesians 3:20-21**

God can do immeasurably more through us TOGETHER than I ever could alone.
