I've been associated Cathy and the people from Several Sources for the past 15 years. I think the program at Several Sources is one of the most outstanding programs for young pregnant mothers I have ever seen. It not only helps them to keep their baby but it also rounds them out to learn to live like a family. Most of the kids come from unstable homes and Several Sources gives them the tools they need to live a substantial life on their own. I have learned through this program that once these girls are on their own Kathy will always remain a remarkable mother figure for them.
Sincerely,
Board of director member: Ray Lill
As a donor first, and now Board member, I've known Kathy and the work of Several Sources for 25 years. Several Sources provides support and shelter (and so much more!) in their quest to defend the sanctity of life, and I am so very proud to be affiliated with such great work! Girls who find themselves in this life-changing crisis of pregnancy find hope, love, understanding, and spiritual guidance here ~ and those are all needed to be able to succeed in life with esteem and confidence. Staff and volunteers labor tirelessly to maintain the standard of excellence in all they do, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, they have succeeded in bringing so very many human lives into the world with their caring work.
Several Sources Shelters Provides a warm safe protected environment to women in crisis pregnancies.It gives them shelter food education and medical care free of charge. Generally it is a peaceful home environment for the care of the mothers and their babies.It teaches them bible study and is truly a family to all who come under their roof.I began as a volunteer and am now a board member and a financial contributer.Please join me in supporting the work of this most worthy organization
I have served on a number of boards and executive committees but none can compare with the the dedication, compassion and determination to serve those in need of help like the poor, the homeless, the pregnant women, their babies and the other young people mentioned in the mission statement of the Several Sources Shelters. This faith-based organization brings to life the words of Christ, "When you have does this to the least of these thy brethren you have done it unto Me." I suggest searching their website www.severalsources.net and finding out for yourself what a truly unique and nurturing organization Several Sources Shelters truly is OR watch the movie -Gimme Shelter- on netflix to see the actual real life story of Kathy DiFiore, and her work for these desperate, homeless young mothers and their babies. The stars include James Earl Jones, Vanessa Hudgens, Rosario Dawson and Brendan Franzer.
I have been involved with Several Sources for over 25 years, first as a volunteer and donor and now as a board member. Several Sources Shelters helps expectant mothers who would like to give birth and find themselves in crisis due to pregnancy. At the shelter, they can find love and compassion. They learn how to be mothers and grow as individuals with self respect as Several Sources is not just a roof over their head. Finally, these moms are allowed to stay up to a year after the birth of their child or longer if they are enrolled in a program to further their education. Education is a gateway to lifetime financial security, so I support this endeavor sincerely.
Several Source Shelters is more than a shelter for pregnant women. It is a place where these needy women can find a home and a “family” who cares about them and helps them to succeed in life. They learn life skills, attend Bible study and chastity classes, and are encouraged and supported to continue their education so that they can provide their child and themselves.
The support continues after the mothers have left our homes. Through Several Sources’ Special Families program, those families in need receive food gift certificates on a regular basis, medical and school supplies, gifts at Christmas and other support to help them get through difficult economic times.
Since 1981, Several Sources has helped over 20,000 women. Over 200 pregnant women call their National Hotline every month seeking assistance. Several Sources provides extensive counseling and information for pregnant women seeking information on the resources available to them.
Many of the women whom Several Sources serves are victims of violence or abuse, while others have been abandoned by their families. All of them need a place to stay so they can give life to their unborn child. Several Sources exists to offer a hand in friendship and love at a time when these women are most in need.
