Family Connects Emmaus with Starbase IndianaIn 2011, Heather Dye was a single mom, homeschooling two children and struggling to make ends meet. She wondered how she was going to put food on the table. Heather needed some solutions and knew that sending her son, Lucas, to school would free her up to help her daughter, who was confined to a wheelchair due to a neuromuscular disorder.
