✨ A Mother’s Strength & A Simple Need ✨

Today we want to share a story that reminds us why we do this work.

A courageous mother in our program was recently reunited with her 8-month-old son after overcoming homelessness. She’s now in safe housing, working hard every single day to break the cycle—for herself and her baby boy. She's doing an incredible job healing, growing, and showing up for him with everything she's got.

But she needs a little help.

She’s in urgent need of a specific car seat—the one that fits her travel system. Because she doesn’t own a car, this system is her lifeline. It allows her to safely carry her son on long bus rides, healthcare transport, Ubers, and even on the mile-long walk to and from the bus stop she makes almost daily.

This car seat isn’t just a convenience. It’s safety. It’s freedom. It’s a mother trying to give her son the best she possibly can with the resources she has.

If you feel moved to help, please consider donating. Every dollar brings us closer to getting this mom the car seat she needs and deserves. ❤️

💙 A Fresh Start Deserves a Little Help 💙

We want to share the story of a courageous single mother who recently took a huge step forward. After experiencing homelessness, she entered the Pearl’s Hope program and has worked tirelessly to build a better life for herself and her 8-month-old son — who she has now joyfully reunified with.

When she arrived at the program, she brought all she could for her baby, but only had two outfits for herself and a single pair of flip-flops.

Today, she’s proud to be working as a cashier — on her feet for hours each day — and she’s asking for a small lift to keep going strong.

She’s in need of: 👟 A comfortable pair of black work shoes (size 10) 👕 Gently used or new shirts in XL or 2XL (she prefers black and darker colors) Amazon Gift Card

If you can help donate or spread the word, you’ll be making a real difference in the life of a mother who’s fighting every day to stay on her feet — literally and figuratively.
