The BossMom Network's charity arm, BossMom Builds, has been changing the lives of mothers in need through corporate and private partnerships since the beginning of the pandemic three years ago, donating six homes and assisting over 130 mothers-in-need.

“We are thrilled to partner with the BossMom Network to make a difference in the lives of mothers in need. We believe in the power of collective action to create positive change in our communities, and this home donation is a testament to that belief,” expressed FirstRock Director, Mrs. Pauline Reid.

Just in time for Mother's Day, the new home was built in Kitson Town, St. Catherine, and presented to Olivea Ryan and her young daughters. The family was filled with excitement and gratitude as they received a fully furnished home, complete with living and bedroom furniture, bedding, a 4-seater dining table, kitchen utensils, food items,, baby supplies, a playpen, and school supplies for the children.

"Words cannot express the joy and happiness that I feel. This is a dream come true for me and my children. I am grateful to the BossMom Network, FirstRock Foundation, Ford, and all the donors who made this possible. I no longer have to worry about living in a cramped and rundown space. With the new home, I can now focus on creating a home-based business that allows me to care for my children while earning an income," said Olivea Ryan, the mother-of-three who received a new home from the FirstRock Foundation and BossMom Network.

This is the second time that the FirstRock Foundation has partnered with the BossMom Network, bringing together some of the ‘Mom’ team members who volunteered to build. The build mission was also supported by the motor company Ford and supplemented with donations from Grace Kennedy and members of the BossMom community.

BossMom Network Principal Michelle Gordon expressed her gratitude for the FirstRock Foundation's steadfast support, stating, "The First Rock Foundation has proven to be an invaluable partner in our mission to support mothers in need. When I reached out to them for support this year, they did not hesitate to say yes. Their commitment to giving back to the community is truly admirable, and we are grateful for their support in making this BossMom Build mission a success," she vouched.

The partnership between FirstRock Foundation and BossMom Network is a shining example of the power of collaboration and the importance of giving back to the community. Together, they are making a real difference in the lives of mothers-in-need, one home at a time.
