This month, we had our staff write down what they are thankful for on a feather and add it to a turkey cutout at the Transformation Center in Chicago. As you can see—they all have many different things to express gratitude for! What are all of us at New Moms and our social enterprise, Bright Endeavors, thankful for? YOU! In this time of Thanksgiving, we wanted to share with you all how thankful we are for you and your investment in the bright futures of young families! Check out this video below to hear from New Moms staff about the other specific things they’re grateful for (including you):
Because of you:
- We hired two new onsite mental health therapists (like Grace, featured in the video above!), who will provide mental health supports to young families—a critical resource that will help build their resilience and increase well-being!
- We provided 40,212 nights of shelter to 74 young moms and their 98 children this past year.
- Our lobby at the Transformation Center in Chicago is overflowing with packages for Operation Santa, ensuring every young family in our programs will have a special Christmas with gifts under the tree!
Our mission could not be achieved without you. Thank you for being part of the New Moms community! We wish you a safe and blessed holiday with your loved ones.
