Safe and stable housing meets a basic human need that helps all, especially vulnerable families, live and thrive. Homeless children and their mothers suffer developmental delays, depression and mental health problems at a higher rate than those with stable housing. ¹ COVID-19 and its aftermath threatens a new crisis.
As Mother’s Day approaches, we want to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and generosity towards our mission. Your contributions have helped The Apostles’ House make a positive impact on the lives of mothers and children in need.
However, we know that there are still many mothers who face significant challenges. From lack of access to healthcare and education, to economic struggles and social injustices, many mothers are working tirelessly to provide for their families in the face of adversity.
This Mother’s Day, we are renewing our commitment to supporting mothers who are facing hardship. We believe that every mother deserves the opportunity to provide for her children and to create a better future for her family.
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we urge you to join us in supporting mothers in need. Your donation can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these mothers. It can help us provide essential resources like emergency shelter services, food, and job training. It can also help us offer immediate assistance to families on the brink of homelessness.
I would like to say that The Apostles' House has helped me in ways I didn’t expect. I greatly appreciate all the hard work, time and energy that the staff, volunteers, and others put into helping us in our time of need. They are very resourceful and persistent to help you achieve your goals. Even though it’s a shelter they made it feel like a home setting. In closing, I would like to say thank you to all the staff, volunteers, donors, and others for the much-needed assistance, time, and support.
In 2018, I was a resident of The Apostles’ House Women and Children Emergency Shelter for seven months. During my stay in the shelter, I found a support system within Miss Victoria and Miss Iris. They provided the guidance, support, and resources I needed to regain control of my life, even during the times I rebelled against it. Through it all, they showed great love and concern, and to their credit, I was able to enroll my son in childcare so that I could focus on finding and securing employment. Today I am employed and living on my own with my son. I still experience many challenges, however, I continue to take the steps necessary to maintain a life for me and my son
