We are excited to announce a new program to help mom's in our Be-Loved program.
The Problem
For many of our moms, the biggest obstacle for them accomplishing their goals is their living situation. Instability caused by domestic violence, drug use, or financial instability of those they live with can disrupt their lives to a point that finding a stable place to live takes precedence over their education and career goals. This can disrupt an entire semester and put independence and stability even further away.
A Solution
To address this issue, Mission Amarillo has purchased a duplex and will design an entire program around it. Ladies living in this duplex will receive reduced rent and practical training in various life skills that will prepare them to thrive once they move into their own place. Ladies will be able to live there for up to 2 years. We will save the rent they pay to match any money they save in the bank up to $2,000.
Another Problem
We have nearly completed renovations at Be-Loved House and are in the process of preparing ladies to live there. We need to do some work on the front yard, so if you'd like to donate to it, we'd encourage you to give through The Panhandle Gives, November 25-December 3. Just click the donate button at the upper right of this page. After those dates, you can securely give at this donation portal.
We are Grateful for Your Help
If you have questions about the project, feel free to contact Jeff Parsons (jeff@missionamarillo.org) or our Be-Loved Director, Whittney Grizzle at whittney@missionamarillo.org. You can also call us at (806) 553-0408.
Our Goal
We hope to begin housing moms in mid-December of this year. Both your prayers and financial support would be appreciated as we work hard to achieve this!
