Thank you for giving teenage mothers and their little ones a real home and a fresh start in life!
Spring is all about new life, including new lives like Victoria’s baby girl.
“My mother died when I was nine. I totally didn’t know how to take care of a baby,” remembers Victoria. I was two months pregnant when I got here. I wanted to protect myself and be responsible for my baby.”
Thanks to friends like you, we were able to give this frightened teenager a safe and stable place to call home as she welcomed her daughter into the world. Your support also provides educational resources, employment counseling, and valuable parenting skills to help develop self-sufficiency and independence.
Victoria has completed high school and has started college classes, but the education she values the most is learning how to care for her little one. She is amazed at how quickly DRMM has helped her transition from helplessness to confidence. “When I came here, I didn’t have anything. I didn’t have a birth certificate, a social security card—nothing. This place helped me get them and it’s just such a blessing. They help people help themselves.”
Thanks to special friends like you, Victoria is working and has moved into an apartment of her own, where she and her daughter have begun a new life together. Thank you for opening your heart to teenage moms like Victoria, and making a lasting difference.
