Hello, I'm Kim Godfrey from Pinellas County. I'm a veteran homeschool mama of two fantastic kids in their teens who has benefited greatly from FLHEF over the years. Early in my homeschool journey, I heard Brenda speak in detail about her personal homeschool story and it impacted me greatly. I'm passionate to share her story and support her tireless efforts to further our homeschool freedoms and benefits in Florida.
Throughout the years, I've been an active leader in our local homeschool support groups/co-ops and events. I've been mentor to and receiver of much needed guidance from other homeschooling moms and experienced first-hand the importance of creating community for ourselves and for our kids. We need each other!
Our oldest flew the coop to college recently and I realized this is my time to pour into the next generation of homeschooling moms but, of course, I didn't want to do it alone. God knew years ago that the friendship and teaching collaborations with one of my dear friends, @Jenny Barr, would culminate in the creation of a homeschool business to do just that, support homeschooling mamas. We are continually amazed at how He prepared us in advance for this new project together.
We harnessed our experience as former teachers coupled with our collaborative efforts as homeschool moms and volunteer leaders in community education programs like our church's children's ministry, 4H and our local homeschool support group's planning team to create The Homeschool Well online community. We prayerfully work to provide homeschool moms with community support, one-on-one mentorship and resources, like FLHEF, which make homeschooling easier and actually enjoyable.
