With Bethany House's long history of helping young women become successful mothers, countless babies have grown into "big kids" and even adults. With twenty-plus years of service, that's a lot of successes! What that also is, is perseverance. Bethany has battled to stay in the life saving business when so many other programs have be demolished by the economic storms that have overtaken the US in the past decades, especially in the last five years. With your help, we have and will (with your help) continue to rescue women and children stranded in situations often beyond their control. Unborn babies and children are dependent on the choices of their mothers. Bethany House has helped women choose life, choose better lifestyles, and achieve success when failure was the norm. Here we've showcased several children/young adults who were born at Bethany House and are growing up to make a difference.

Holiday Letter 2012
Tis the Season!
Friends, we only have to turn on the news to see devastation and heartbreak. The recent storm on the East Coast is testimony to that. But every day, smaller, yet no less significant devastation and heartbreak occur right here, in our local communities. Single moms without funds to buy diapers for their infants, women and children with no place to call home, pregnant teens disowned, devalued and disillusioned. Yes, indeed, we have our own stormy situations that aren't making national news, but that involve very real families without hope, homes, or help. CONTINUE

Drowning in Despair
Not all our clients want to be identified. We understand, but their stories are still newsworthy.

We'll use "Jill" to represent one young woman who found herself pregnant, alone, addicted to meth, and homeless. She was drowning with no life preserver in sight. Thankfully, with Beth's guidance, your financial support and prayers, Jill completed treatment, had a healthy baby, and is finishing her education. She knows that God has a plan and purpose for her life. Her daughter has a chance for the life Jill has been denied. Abused by a family member, disowned by that same family, she has been adopted into a whole new family – God's family. Our family.

Jill's story is familiar – a majority of the women we serve experienced abuse or neglect on some level. They were abandoned and alone. They turned to drugs, men, "the world" to heal their hearts, but were instead hurt even more. Bethany House is the life-preserver that helps free them from fear and leads them to freedom.
