Monroe-based maternity home a haven for mothers struggling with homelessness, paving the way for a future filled with hope Show notes: (0:06) Cassandra, a new mother from Arizona, describes struggling with homelessness and domestic violence while juggling the responsibilities that come with having a two-week-old daughter. A friend suggested a few maternity homes, including one out of state: Selah’s Center of Hope.

(6:42) Dowler describes the challenges of opening a pregnancy resource center, but said God provided for the new ministry in various ways, including sending volunteers, funding and real estate when things seemed bleak. (10:01) Dowler talks about the mission and home-like feel of Selah’s Center of Hope, including the daily schedule and resources available to provide moms with nowhere else to turn with a fresh start, financial security, and confidence. (12:57) Since opening Selah’s Center of Hope in 2020, Dowler said the ministry has opened a second home for mothers, which helps women who’ve taken steps toward independence to remain on the right road. (14:35) Cassandra describes the difference Selah’s Center of Hope has made. She talks about how the staff and other mothers feel like family, and how her trajectory in life has drastically changed as a result.
