Right now, a young mother in our community is seeking a safe place to call home, along with the love and support of a family who cares. While her story is unique, the challenges she faces are all too common. In 2022, more than 3 million girls faced the struggles of teen pregnancy.
​
For many of these young mothers, the odds are stacked against them. Fifty percent of teen moms drop out of high school during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth. Two-thirds of mothers on welfare had their first child as a teenager, increasing the likelihood that their own children will face similar hardships, perpetuating the cycle of generational poverty.
​
For over 30 years, Compassion Ministries has witnessed firsthand the powerful transformation that occurs when young mothers are provided with a safe and nurturing environment. In our program, they learn life skills to live independently, heal from trauma, and make healthy choices for themselves and their children—often for the first time.
​
We need YOUR help to empower these young women to break free from the cycles that have held them back. With your support, we can provide them with the tools, community, and love they need to build brighter, more promising futures for themselves and their families. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
We invite you to join us for our 5th Annual Baby Ball—a night of fun and purpose, dedicated to giving young mothers a safe home and the support they need to become fully independent.
​
This exclusive evening promises an unforgettable experience, featuring a cocktail hour, dinner, music, dancing, games, inspiring speakers, and a silent & live auction—all benefiting Compassion Ministries.
Your presence and support will help empower young mothers to break the cycle and build a brighter future for themselves and their children. We look forward to seeing you there!​
