Spotlight on an NCCSO Leader

Meet Rasha Brinkmann-Yahya

My ex was a US Military Police Officer at the MP Station, where I worked as a civilian local national employee. After we had Danny, our relationship ended. I filed our case with the local child support recovery department and then the waiting started.

Three long years, and I was told that because he was in Illinois and I was in Georgia , there was no way they could help me.

Frustrated and angry, I started to look for other options. Then I saw a commercial from Supportkids on TV and asked them for help. Thanks to the great job this agency had done, the checks finally began to come in.

In June last year, the payments stopped all of a sudden, and I found out that my ex had changed jobs. It took the Supportkids team only a few months to locate his new employer and soon, he was paying again.

I can't say how grateful I am to the people at Supportkids. If it were for the government authorities, my case would still be sitting somewhere in a filing cabinet and nothing would have been collected, except dust on the folder.

I hope that my story helps other parents look for other options and continue to fight for what their children deserve.

Best regards,
Rasha Brinkmann-Yahya
