Monica has a smile that softens even the hardest day. She grew up in poverty and understands firsthand the weight women carry—raising families, fighting for opportunities, and searching for hope. Today she pours that experience into training groups of women with a quiet courage and a shepherd’s heart.

She isn’t the one up on stage like her husband; she’s the one sitting close, listening deeply, creating safety, and building community. Her trainings don’t end with information—they grow into small, tight-knit groups of women who keep meeting, keep encouraging, and keep rising together. Relationship is her strategy, and it changes everything.

Her impact across PeopleBridge over the last several years has been powerful. She cares, she nurtures, she lifts people up—and her children are now carrying the same legacy.

“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” — Proverbs 31:26
Your giving allows Monica to continue investing 25–40 hours each week in mentoring women, forming small groups, and building community-based pathways out of poverty. With more than 95% of your donation going directly to her work, your partnership creates stability for her family and hope for many others.

From Brian & Erin:
Watching Monica train women is a gift. She brings warmth, humility, and strength to every room. She is an encourager in the truest sense—lifting others quietly and consistently. In 2026, we would love to see a small family of supporters surround her with prayer, encouragement, and monthly support so she can keep building communities of courage and hope.
