Pregnant? Need Help?

Accomplishments

Priceless is a baby’s life. Priceless is a smiling mother. Especially after she was homeless, depressed, and much worse before finding Good Counsel. Thanks to our many friends and supporters, miracles do happen!

While you can count the number of births in our homes, how do you measure the effect that each birth has on the mother, her family and friends, not to mention all of the volunteers, supporters and associates who celebrate the joy of each new life here at Good Counsel?

You can count the number of our Life Skill classes, but how do you measure how important it is for one new mom to learn how to parent her first child? Does it matter if one of our moms develops new skills in using the Internet? It might be invaluable for her future employment in this age of rapidly changing technology.

Maybe only God can appreciate the impact on the world of a child laughing and playing in one of our homes.

Keeping all of this in mind, here are some of our accomplishments.
