The Mary’s Comfort all-volunteer board, mentors and fundraisers are humbled and delighted to share the news that we welcomed two babies into the world in 2025 and both are doing great!

Another Mary’s Comfort guest gave birth to a baby boy on February 20th after escaping a very difficult situation. She had this to say about Mary’s Comfort:

“I don’t have words to say how much they have helped me. I was crying and crying the day they came for me. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was lost. When we got here, they opened the door and I cried because I couldn’t believe it – how nice it was. I felt something like a spirit moving around me and it was God’s spirit to send these people to me.

 “They made me feel like I’m their family. I can’t explain it. They really care about me. It’s not just about getting help, it’s about caring – having someone to talk to and share my faith with.

 “They make sure we’re ready to be good moms. The mentors are like mothers to me. They push me and I love it. I want to do more and be more. They push me to go to school. They took me to sign up for classes. They truly care. They are here for me. I know that.

 “Now I believe I can be more. They tell me, ‘You can make your way in life…’ and now I believe it! I’m so grateful. They opened the door for me. Nothing is impossible if you love and these mentors love.

 “I would like to say thank you for everything. I’m so grateful. Thank you a million times. I cannot say thank you enough.”

 On February 26, a beautiful baby girl came into this world. She weighed-in at a mighty 7lbs 14oz and she’s doing great. Her mom, a Mary’s Comfort guest, recently shared some thoughts about what her time at Mary’s Comfort has meant to her.

 "Before here I was depressed – crying every day and praying, asking God for help. I was asking myself, 'I am pregnant here and by myself – nobody to support me – is this a curse or a blessing?' 

 “Somebody talked to me about Mary’s Comfort… I was praying all night and it was so difficult… and this person said, “Oh, do you know Mary’s Comfort?” I say, “No.” She was like, “Okay, let me give you their phone number…”

 “When I first came here I was so surprised because everybody just opened their hand to welcome me. Today I can call somewhere home. I’m still learning a lot. How people can love. They give love unconditionally here. And hope. And I’m so happy. Everyone is so nice to me and my baby. I’m just so happy to have a new beginning. 

 “I cannot ever thank you enough – not enough to express what I’m feeling. May God bless you."
