BrightStar Care Supports Families in Transition 


Ed Fichtel, Owner of BrightStar Care of Fredericksburg-Springfield, elected to Board of Directors for Transitions4You, a Christ-centered non-profit organization focused on helping displaced families regain their independence and self-sufficiency.


Transitions4You works to empower families to achieve stability in four main areas: housing, employment, financial, and spiritual.  There are on average 500+ families that live in the motels in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Stafford.  Many of these families are sharing a single room with children. Displaced families suffer a multitude of risk-factors.  These risk-factors can cause them to lose their identity and self-worth. Transitions4You’s goal is to help these families reclaim their lives to become so much more than what they see today and move forward to a better tomorrow.  For more information please visit their website:  Transitions4You
