"Where children are cherished
and futures are formed."

FOUNDED IN 2000
At the "tender age of 74, Helen Coppage, a community-minded citizen, saw a need for a home that kept foster teen mothers and their children together, so she gathered her friends together and started a not-for-profit organization headed by a board of directors. 

With all of their help and Helen's profound determination, Helen's dream home became a reality. The house was dedicated on Mother's Day in the year 2000.  Helen passed away in the fall of that same year at the age of 81 -- her "mission" accomplished.

FOCUS
Our Mother's Home is a large home with facilities adequate for housing eight young Foster mothers and their babies. Our Home is unique in many ways, one being that we help teenage Foster mothers from age thirteen to age eighteen, as long as they stay in school or have a job. 

Any pregnant or post-partum Florida teen that is a Foster Child or is in the process of becoming under the care of the Department of Children and Families can come to our home to live after the first trimester of pregnancy or with her child, if the baby has already been born.

MISSION
Our Mission is to provide a Safe and Loving Home for teenage foster girls where they will learn to Love and Respect themselves and their children and become self sufficient and productive members of the community.

Our Vision is to be valued by the Community as a model Home with a replicable program of Excellence for keeping teenage foster girls and their babies together.

EDUCATION
Our Mother's Home improves the ability of an individual to become independent and learn skills to enhance activities of daily living. We have programs that promote health, happiness and integration into the community. OMH has home based services for the teens such as: personal care, housekeeping and life skills training including family values, parenting skills, etc...

There is a home atmosphere filled with love and hugs and appreciation for just being who they are. We have support services in prenatal care, nursing your baby, counseling, independent living and tutoring. 

STAFFING
We have a caring staff and a very active volunteer Board of Directors who operate Our Mother's Home.

FUTURE
This prototype program is halfway to demonstrating the full power of mother/child care. Our home for current foster Moms is proving itself with terrific results. We look forward to building and maintaining our transitional home for mothers who have turned 18 and need support as they become self-sufficient mothers. The goal for our transitional program is to empower these young mothers with the skills necessary to break the welfare cycle.
