Give Help and Hope
Changing direction in life is difficult.
Just like us, Camron sometimes chose unhealthy recreation as a young teen making his way in the world.
Yet when he desired growth in life, he chose to re-create himself. The journey led him to a crossroads: would he surround his life with the same things he had before, or follow the narrow path into new life?
Camron knew BridgeBuilders as a place of help, where the road is never walked alone. Through our Afterschool Program, Mowing & Mentoring, and Bonton Bible Church, Camron has embraced a new walk!
This is one of many stories of how your giving creates help, and help creates hope.
🌿 What Camron Received, He Now Gives
Camron met us as a kid, but so much has changed since then.
Our Mowing & Mentoring Program has helped him earn money, learn how to manage and save it, and pick up new life skills–all while senior citizens needing help with their lawns receive that care.
Not only does Camron receive the help that becomes hope, he also provides it to his neighbors!
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
🧩 A Bridge from School to Home
We are the first friends our students see after the last bell rings and the bus drops them off.
Their daily lives come with trials–maybe someone was unkind at school, or perhaps a new subject just didn’t click–or maybe it was a great day, and they’re excited to see friends at BridgeBuilders.
On our campus, we help with homework, provide nutritious food, introduce local resources and partners, and teach emotional regulation; every effort strategically chosen to create help.
Camron has a home between homes here, and he’s making this place a home for others around him. Teen years are a bridge that requires ownership and responsibility–which we’re proud to see growing strong within Camron.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
💒 Love You Can’t Imagine
Life is not easy. It’s easier when we do it in community.
Camron’s journey led him to a beautiful knowledge of the God who loved him even before he got his life together–a love he can’t even explain.
He is now walking, talking, praying, serving, and communing in fellowship with his neighbors at Bonton Bible Church. No matter where life takes him, the bridges he’s building here will be a foundational connection to the future he’s chasing,
And of course, we will always be here for him too.
“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
💝 Feel the joy of giving hope!
Last year, you donated $100,285 to BridgeBuilders for North Texas Giving Day.
Here’s the help you provided:
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of food, free of charge to neighbors
Rebuilt fences, repainted walls, and cleaned up lawns to avoid costly code violation fines
A running calendar of events which bring joy to the surface
As we’ve shared Camron’s story, we hope you’ve seen a young man that represents the people God is giving help and hope to through your generosity.
A dollar given becomes the next box of pasta for a neighbor’s family meal, or a visit to the Clinic for free glasses and eyecare, or even a few dollars saved for one of our teen’s goals as they manage money wisely through Mowing & Mentoring. Your help is needed.
“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
