Burton Cottage

“We love our job here! While the girls can be a challenge, we can’t think of another more rewarding career than helping children have a better life,” Cathy Brown, Burton Cottage housemom describes their role in the lives of every girl living with them.

Ricky and Cathy Brown joined our staff in January 2003 when they moved from Shelbyville, TN. Ricky worked as a warehouse supervisor and Cathy served as a daycare director for their local congregation.

Married 29 years, they have two wonderful children … Adam, 20, recently graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in digital graphic design and Katy, 14, who attends Mount Dora Bible School.

“We’ve learned a lot about people since moving here. Never in our wildest imaginations could we imagine anyone treating their children the way some of these girls have suffered,” Ricky offers.

“That’s why we’re committed to help every girl who lives with us. As a result of our life here, we’re becoming better parents and deepening our relationship with our children,” Cathy states.

They are certainly making a positive difference with their girls.
