She Wants a Roof over Her Head, Not Diapers

By Leave a Comment

A women who is pregnant and homeless doesn’t care about attending classes to get a pack and play or diapers.

She cares about getting a roof over her head before night falls. Whether it’s getting into a shelter, sleeping in a car, a quiet bathroom or a tent in the woods. These are her concerns.

Too often when are women are given items as answers to bigger life problems. Diapers and pack and plays are necessary after or when she’s settled but not when she’s in crisis as a result of homelessness.

If you know of a woman who is pregnant or who has recently given birth, but doesn’t have consistent housing call 571-261-2838. Homes, like Carried To Full Term, have programs that are designed to equip women with the tools and resources to help her provide for herself and her family.

Expanded Mission

By Leave a Comment

The initial mission at Carried To Full Term was to provide housing and to help mothers become independent and self-sufficient. Along the way, we observed patterns that needed to be broken. As a result, the mission was broadened to include breaking cycles of poverty.  The task is broader, and the mission is greater but we believe the effort is worth improving the lives of our families and future generations.

I am reminded of the verse in Ephesians that says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” The support from our community, churches, and friends, allows the work of stabilizing and protecting families from abandonment and homelessness to continue. I am thankful to God for his favor and the support and growth experienced throughout the years.
