This is Marina, with her baby Mia (not their real names). She entered Mother's Heart's Crisis Pregnancy Support Program last year. She said she appreciates the child care service because it allows her to leave her baby in a safe environment while she is at work and with no family to rely on for support.
Marina wants to tell you, dear supporters and donors, how much your commitment to Mother's Heart means so much to her more than you can imagine. She is grateful to all of you who believe in Mother's Heart's vision.
Her full story will be published soon on our website so watch out for it.
From time to time, we turn the spotlight to one of our dedicated staff. Here's another get to know you post about one of our dedicated staff.
Friends, say hello to Sreymach Kim. She is our Women’s Home Coordinator. You can find her managing the house and providing support to the women and babies staying there.
At the moment, there are six young mothers at the women's home. Sreymach helps them as they navigate their new role as mothers and offers a lending hand so these young mums have well-deserved naps after a difficult night. She coaches them about caring and feeding their babies, comforts them when they are feeling down and insecure. On top of these, she also makes sure that the house is clean and tidy.
Over the years, the Women's Home has seen many young women (teenagers) staying there, some have intellectual disabilities and mental health issues. They need a safe and nurturing place to stay and a mother-figure like Sreymach to look over things and help them be independent. On top of being a mother herself, Sreymach also has years of work experience in a similar capacity in other organisations before working with Mother's Heart. She ensures that the women's home is a safe haven for the women and their babies so that they can recover from their crisis and re-gain the confidence and strength needed for their stability and independence.
We received a note in our page today. Dear donors and supporters, we greatly appreciate your gifts and your taking time to write well wishes for the mothers and babies in our care.
We love reading your messages to them. Your words encourage the women and inspire Mother's Heart staff even more knowing you are behind our back, caring for the women and the work we do. Please keep the messages coming.
