I have been going to “Mom’s House” since 2006, off and back on, to continue my education. I have a three year old son and it hasn’t been an easy thing being a single mom.

From the beginning the staff at “Mom’s House” has been my saving grace. Everyone truly cares for you and your child. Nathan will probably be there until he goes to kindergarten.

It will be a very sad thing to leave a place I call a second home. But I hope to somehow still be involved with the program afterwards, as I consider it the most influential, kind, loving and beneficial programs out there.

Bridget and her daughter Mackayla came to Mom’s House in October 2007. Bridget was a student at Kathryn Gibbs majoring in Criminal Justice.

The staff at Mom’s House quickly formed a bond with both Mom and daughter. We looked forward to their arrival each day since they brought with them enthusiasm and pleasant dispositions that created a bright spot at the center.

Bridget was successful in her schooling and achieved Dean’s List several times. She managed to do this while, not only caring for Mackayla, but holding down a job at a local restaurant.

Following completion of her internship with the Domestic Violence Center of Montgomery County, Bridge received her Associates Degree in Criminal Justice in June. She is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s degree at Rosemont College.

Mom’s House is a very special place to my daughter and I. To her, Mom’s House is such a fun place that she gets to go everyday..

She is always so excited to come to “school” every morning. Mom’s House is equally supportive of my education as well, making it possible for me to attend school and put my full focus on being as successful as I can possibly be.

The employees, volunteers and the moms all work together to form a support systems which is unique. Mom’s House has provided me with so much more then a safe place to take my child and I am thankful for the bonds my daughter and I have created there.
