To Whom it May Concern
Dear Friends:
On behalf of the Board of Directors I extend you greetings and pray that this letter
reaches you at a time filled with prosperity of the spirit and blessings from our Lord. We
wanted to share this special message which is information about the ministry.
Hannah's Home of South Florida, Inc. was formed as a Florida not-for-profit
organization serving expectant mothers and children in January 2003. Our mission is to
provide support to young women who are single, pregnant and in need of our services.
Since the beginning we have used single-family homes throughout Palm Beach
County that act as hosts to women who axe expecting a baby and who without our
assistance would be homeless. The single-family model means that one woman resides in
each home along with house paxents.
At Hannah's Home, a young woman is given the opportunity to have a change
from her normal routine to reflect on her life and make decisions that will impact both her
future and that of her child. By the time she leaves, we pray she will know that, in God's
sight, she and her baby are truly significant...and that He wants a future filled with hope
and promise for them. Her life may be filled with challenges, but she can draw strength
from the encouragement offered during her time at Hannah's Home. Education is critical
to the help reduce the impact of life challenges such as gainful employment.
The goal of the academic and spiritual components is to ensure that each young
woman receives an educational experience that provides the foundation for lifelong
learning. Post secondary education in academic or vocational programs will be
encouraged. Therefore, the educational program must satisfy the enrollment requirements
of institutions of higher learning. Equally important is that each young woman would be
able to transfer to a school of her choice upon successful completion of her residency
with the competencies to master course work at the appropriate grade level if she is
returning to a secondary education program.
Christian counseling is provided by Spanish River Counseling Service. Each
expectant mother is introduced to a person about her same age and who is spiritually
