Women's Maternity Home

McKinsey Palmer & myself, Jennifer Sabin are starting a maternity home for women who would otherwise have no where to go. We come from two different backgrounds, McKinsey, a single mother who had to take shelter at a maternity home and myself, who never had children of my own. 
We are looking to raise funds to support the women who would come to the maternity home in need. They will be from different places, stages of life, but will all be offered shelter. The funds are needed to renovate and set up the home to accomodate at least five women and possibly their children. As soon as we are able to raise enough money to start the maternity home we will move forward on pursuing opening it up to women in need. 
McKinsey has a passion to give back as she knows what it's like to not have a place to go and be pregnant. My background has been helping homeless, women in need and mentoring young women. The ministry my husband and I began in 2003, Visions Of Praise Ministries has helped thousands of people who didn't have food, clothing or purpose in their lives. Taking young women into our personal home and giving them a chance to start over has leaded us to want to help more. Having a maternity home to help more women and give them a safe haven will be the best means to teach, train and assist them with their new lives. 
Dealing with drug addiction, sexual addiction and spiritual issues has been a mission field through outreach to our city. Having a counselor on staff at our church would give them a chance at restoration with their life, family & God. As a minister, I am driven to see women set free from the bondages that drag them down. We will be able to take lives that could be lost and turn them back on the right path. There is no greater reward than that!
