Our History

Our History

It all started with just three people

Several years ago, I came to Florida with a suitcase packed with my daughter and the dream to build a life together in the United States. The decision to leave my country was very difficult but based on trust, I took the leap of faith which led me to many challenging months ahead.

Unfortunately, I ended up in a very abusive situation and needed to get out quickly. I quickly found us without a place to live, without food for myself and my daughter and not knowing where I could go for work. I was very confused about whether I should stay or return to Colombia, but I was committed to finding a way to provide the life I had dreamed about for my daughter.

This is how I found the Women’s Center of Brevard. In the middle of the chaos and after a 911 call for help, they told me about a place where I could receive help. The very next day, I met kind and compassionate individuals at the Women’s Center of Brevard. They were truly angels sent to me at this time of my life and provided me with support for everything I needed. Food, furniture, legal advice, and helping me and my daughter find a place to live. In addition, I received a lot of emotional support that I will forever be grateful for in my heart.

Thanks to all this support, I managed to change my focus and I decided to stay and start a new life. I would focus my attention on doing what I needed to provide for myself and my daughter. I knew this path would not be easy but I was confident I could do it, especially with the support of the Women’s Center.

In October 2022, I opened my first residential cleaning company. I worked very hard and took any job that was made available to me. I was blessed to have success with this business and knew I wanted to do more. My determination, optimism and commitment to remaining grateful not matter what life threw at me put me in a position to open my second company.

Brevard’s Best Commercial Cleaning. My mission was to create a company of opportunity and hope that would give back to our community that supported me so well. This is why we decided to work directly with the Women’s center of Brevard. Our mission is to provide employment opportunities to victims of abuse in our community and resources to the center. As a company, we have made a commitment to donate a portion of the company’s revenue to the Women’s center every month to provide a consistent income steam which is critical to the success of the organization.
