MPI PHL CARES is proud to support Brave Hearts for Strong Minds (BHSM) this October. This month your donations will directly impact the BHSM mission to ensure that families that have experienced unimaginable loss can ensure their kids’ have a chance for a college education.  

Did you know children who have lost a parent face immense and lasting emotional and social hurdles? One of the key struggles for families that have lost a loved one is the ability to provide for the children’s education.

Founded in 2012 after the death of community member Tom Reilly (Fort Washington, PA), Brave Hearts for Strong Minds has worked to support children that have lost a parent with 529 education plan funds. Thus far, the organization has helped 8 families and 23 children, but they are not stopping yet! 
 
Each year the day before Father’s Day, Brave Hearts for Strong Minds hosts a community walk to support children that have lost a parent. In 2020, they supported the Moher family (Evan, Stella, and Dylan), and though the event went virtual, the community still stepped up. They are looking towards 2021 and raising funds to help a new group of children.
 
One way BHSM is starting to fundraise for 2021 is through a community cookbook. The BHSM community submitted some of their favorite recipes, which have now been compiled into a downloadable .pdf or paperback book. 

Consider donating to receive your copy and supporting our organization! Check it out at: https://www.braveheartsforstrongminds.org/2020-bhsm-cookbook/
