By joining hands and working towards a common goal, we can provide young moms escaping trauma access a safe home, nurturing environment, and the critical supports needed to create a better life for her and her child.
Imagine a world where their dreams are not limited by their background, but rather fueled by the unwavering support and belief of a caring community. Together, we can show them that they are not alone, that they are loved, and that we believe in their potential.
Even the smallest act of kindness can make a world of difference. We couldn’t do this important work without the help of many generous donors, volunteers, and supporters.
Thank you.

A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don’t apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more.
