BRU Foundation was started by
Bricks
'R Us, Inc. in 2010 and is a 501c3 organization.
The
Foundation is designed to assist those working families that have
emergency bills. An example of an Emergency Bill would be an
electrical utility company, water utility company, mortgage
company, rental payments, etc.
There are families that have paid their
rent/mortgage for years and due to the recession or circumstances
in their lives, are unable to pay the current payment, utilities or
other emergency bills but are stable
enough that if they had a little push (money), they would have the
ability to go back to fulfilling their obligations.
We work with organizations that deal
with these types of situations; it adds an extra security level
of confidence that we are helping the right people. Another type
of security measure is by paying directly to the company and not
the individual.
Our volunteers are from the staff of
Bricks 'R Us, Inc. No salaries are paid from BRU Foundation.
BRU Foundation's office expenses and salaries are paid by Bricks
'R Us, Inc. only. Money raised by donations will ONLY be used
for
emergency bills to families that have a child under the age of
16 and at least one member of the family who is currently employed. Our focus is more on the child or children of the family.
Bricks 'R Us has been
engraving bricks for 22 years which brings the credibility to BRU
Foundation. With the help of Bricks 'R Us, their customers*
and those that become familiar with our unique cause, we will
prevent the child/children who cannot bathe in their parents’ home
due to the water being turned off
or the family that has to live in their car for the evening to be more comfortable
due to not having air conditioning since their electricity was turned off.
Your tax deductible donations allows us to help
others.
We thank you in advance for your support!
