Our Mother’s Home

Why:

The Vision of Our Mother’s Home is to end the repetitive cycle of foster care and generational poverty that afflicts teen mothers and their children.

How:

The Mission of Our Mother’s Home is to transition teen mothers and their children from foster care and human trafficking to stable, happy, and productive lives by providing a safe and nurturing home, education, parenting support, along with physical, mental and spiritual care.

What:

Our Mother’s Home provides a safe and nurturing environment for teen moms (ages 12-21) in foster care and their babies. Prior to the launch of Our Mother’s Home in 2000, teenage mothers in foster care were often separated from their child at birth. This unique home is the only of in Southwest Florida to provide service to break the cycle one teen at a time.

As a privatized 501(c)3 organization, Our Mother’s Home raises 50 – 60% of its own funding, to provide teen moms a supporting environment to stay with their children, learn life skills, and finish their education. We depend heavily on our dedicated volunteers, contributions of funds, commodities and services. Our success rate has generated great interest among those interested in decreasing the rate of children in foster care.
