If the vacuum booster is bad usually the brake pedal gets very hard.
I found that all I had to do to firm up my breaks was adjust the rear drum breaks.
This is simple to do .. About a 10 mim job. An indication that this might be the problem as well is if you have to really smash the parking break to get it to hold.

First of all WELCOME a board.
Yes when the vacuum pump fails the brake gets hard. Also agree with the rear adjusment brakes. Other thing check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and maybe need to purge of the system.
