Mother Turns Tragedy Into Helping Recovering People

EVERY NICE TURN CAN TURN SOMEONE AROUND –

Dec. 22, 2022 – “Whenever she got out, she’d give me a call and say, ‘Hey ma, can you go buy Goodwill and pick me up a purse, backpack, tote or something? I have been in here 45 days and they are just giving me a plastic bag to walk out with my stuff,’” stated Brusha. Michaels, according to her mom, felt more like she was walking around prison than rehab. She didn’t think made a good first impression.

Hence the name of Brusha’s boutique: ‘Purse-Impressions’.

She turned it into a charity after her daughter’s funeral where she asked for purses instead of flowers.

“Then, I just kept getting more and more purses. I said I think I am on to something, so made it an official 501c3,” added Brusha.
