EMPOWERMENT. The other part of our vision is to empower our residents. We are client-centered, which means they need to make the choices that affect their own lives and the lives of their children. They voluntarily come and choose to participate in our program. Our care and services are not "to" them or "for" them but WITH them. #restorehope #EmpoweringYoungMothers

RESTORE HOPE. “I did it!!!” What they say when they graduate school, or get their driver’s license, or get the job they wanted. We love to see their HOPE RESTORED. #restorehope #EmpoweringYoungMothers

RESTORE HOPE. We believe in our residents. We have seen them come and go and have seen them “make it.” We strive for our residents to believe that in themselves, because that is when change begins to happen. #restorehope #EmpoweringYoungMothers

RESTORE HOPE. Part of our vision is restoring hope. Taking care of a person’s essential needs such as shelter, food, and access to medical care is such an important first step in what we do, and an important step in restoring hope. #EmpoweringYoungMothers #restorehope

A mom peaks into her daughter’s new bedroom and sees big smiles on their faces.

This prior shelter resident and her two daughters could not be more excited to be a part of our Transitional Living Program. We are SOOO thankful to have been GIVEN a house that can support two families in addition to our current TLP apartments.

Renovations to the house finished last week and this family was able to move in Monday. Thank YOU for your support that has allowed us the opportunity to expand our services and serve families like this one. ❤️

Do you like new school supplies? What about making someone's day? We are looking for people to sponsor a backpack for our moms and kids going back to school this fall. If you are interested to sponsor a backpack, please email Jessie@MothersRefuge.org by the end of this week. Thank you!

Special Announcement! Meet our Development Special

Special Announcement! Meet our Development Specialist, Alicia Janssen. She helps write grants, and starting this week she is taking over our Volunteer Program. Due to exciting growth we are experiencing like the addition of our Transitional Living Program, Jessie is needed to focus her full attention on her other role with the Aftercare Program.

Alicia is pursuing her Masters in Social Work from KU and started with us as an intern last fall, but now we have her full time! She is excited to manage a volunteer program again and get to know all of our volunteers. If you are currently a volunteer or are interested in getting involved, you can reach out to her at: Alicia@MothersRefuge.org.

Screaming with excitement! We are proud to be named an inaugural United Way Impact 100 organization. This year, United Way launched the Impact 100 to provide unrestricted funding to the 100 organizations they believe are addressing the most vital health and human service needs in our community. At Mother's Refuge, we will use this funding to help us continue restoring hope and empowering young mothers. Thank you @unitedwaygkc !

"I give because taking action is one way I stand on my beliefs. It’s easy to talk about what you believe in, but it’s another thing to actually invest your time, money and effort. Giving to and telling others about Mothers Refuge is a way for me to help those who are in need, and I can trust that they will actually get the help they deserve."

“I have such a passion and heart for pregnancy,

“I have such a passion and heart for pregnancy, adoption, mothers and their babies. My dream was to one day open a facility/home for them to be cared for and taken care of during and after pregnancy... a safe space for young girls and women alike to come and be loved, encouraged, cared for, and equipped to raise their babies.

I was always told to find someone or some place that was already doing it and partner with them, plant seeds, and invest in something that is doing the very thing I’ve always wanted to do.

I love the vision, heart, and mission of Mother’s Refuge and I am so thankful to play a small part in what God is doing there. That is why I choose to give to Mothers Refuge!"
