What’s the Best Gift You’ve Ever Received? | Breelynn’s Story

Breelynn and her sister

What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?

Four-year-old Breelynn cherishes the Minnie Mouse doll she received as a gift while in Family Promise’s shelter program. Minnie is her favorite cartoon character.

Breelynn and her family were living in a hotel when they found Family Promise. Her Minnie Mouse doll became a constant companion and source of comfort during an uncertain time. Life returned to normal for Breelynn after Family Promise helped her dad find steady employment and located a new home for the family. The family started a collection operation to receive and store clothes and other donated items for Family Promise families. And Breelynn still takes Minnie Mouse everywhere she goes.
