Email from Mother's Refuge Brunches, Volunteer Teams & More!     Resident Updates We’re grateful to welcome two new residents into our home. One young mom-to-be, due October 13th, has shown incredible motivation to embrace everything the program has to offer. We are so excited to walk alongside her on this journey. Another new resident touched our hearts when she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up—her answer was simply, 'loved.' Our team is providing her with the specialized care, compassion, and stability she needs to thrive and embrace a brighter future. Each story is unique, yet both remind us why this work matters so deeply. Please keep these brave young moms in your thoughts and prayers as they adjust, heal, and build hope for their futures. Every mother who comes through our doors carries a story marked by both hardship and resilience. Because of your support, we’re able to walk alongside them with hope, love, and a safe place to call home. Thank you for making that possible!     Their Future. Your Legacy. As we renovate our new building, we’re also building something even more powerful: a legacy of compassion. Our Wall of Hope will be a permanent installation in our new facility that will honor those who make this dream possible. With your gift to our capital campaign, your name (or the name of someone you choose to honor) will be displayed as a lasting symbol of love, generosity, and belief in second chances. This is more than bricks and mortar. It’s a foundation for transformation — for young moms and their babies to find safety, healing, and a future filled with promise. Join us in creating a space where hope lives — and where it grows for generations to come.
