Hi, I’m Lillian, the CEO of Brian Safe Haven. I am a passionate advocate for servicing and strengthening communities. My mission is to build an infrastructure of assets within my community, fostering self-sufficiency
and empowerment.
Beyond my professional role, I am a loving wife, a proud grandmother, and a devoted mother. My love extends not only to my family but also to the broader community I am part of. The genesis of Brian Safe Haven lies in the memory of my beloved son, Brian, who tragically passed away due to a
respiratory disease in 2016. His untimely departure left an indelible mark on my heart, fueling my commitment to make a positive impact in the lives of others.
In Brian’s honor, I founded Brian Safe Haven with the vision of creating a haven for those in need with in our community. This organization represents my deep expression of love, a way to channel grief into a force for good. Through Brian Safe Haven, we provide essential services, support, and resources to individua ls and families facing various challenges, such as homelessness, poverty, and mental health issues
With unwavering determination, I lead a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers who share the same passion for uplifting others. Together, we strive to build a strong and compassionate community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and fulfill their potential. As the CEO of Brian Safe Haven, I am driven by the belief that true progress is achieved through collective effort and collaboration. By empowering individuals and fostering self sufficiency, we can create a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve, enabling them to regain hope, dignity, and a brighter future.
In memory of Brian and inspired by the love I hold for my family and community, I continue to dedicate my life’s work to Brian Safe Haven, serving as a beacon of hope and compassion for all those in need.

The Shepherd’s Staff is a privately-funded 501(c)(3) organization serving those in crisis in Carroll County. As a nondenominational Christian Outreach and Support Center, we continually strive to effectively respond to people in their time of need, particularly when they find themselves in situations where they may have nowhere else to turn.
We focus on providing temporary assistance to resolve short-term problems, while empowering people to seek more permanent solutions for social and economic self-sufficiency.
Our doors are open—from listening with compassion and offering fellowship to providing financial assistance and medical support. Our Staff and Board of Directors concentrate on even the smallest kindnesses to facilitate a sense of peace that is often the first step toward relieving a crisis and begin healing.
To do all this and more, we rely on financial and in-kind support, volunteerism and prayers.
With the support of our donors, volunteers and the community, The Shepherd’s Staff meets the needs of others with Gifts of Hope.
Your Gifts of Hope helped 4,463 individuals and 1,993 families in 2022 alone!
