There are moments at Good Counsel that stop us in our tracks—not because they are rare, but because they remind us exactly why we do this work.

Early morning on January 30th, Soranyi welcomed her twin boys, Alejandro and Alexandro, into the world. Two tiny lives. Two distinct cries. Two brand-new stories beginning at once. And one brave mother who did not walk this journey alone.

At Good Counsel, we often say that we are more than a program—we are a family. That truth is felt most deeply on days like this. From pregnancy to delivery and beyond, mothers are surrounded by a community that shows up: caregivers, staff, volunteers, and supporters who stand with them not just in crisis, but in celebration.

Supporting a woman at Good Counsel means far more than offering a roof over her head. It means providing stability, medical care, emotional support, encouragement, and the confidence to step into motherhood with dignity and hope. It means walking beside her through sleepless nights, doctor’s appointments, milestones, and moments of overwhelming joy—like holding two newborn sons for the very first time.

When a mother thrives, her children thrive. When she is supported, an entire family’s future changes.

Stories like Soranyi’s are made possible because people believe that mothers deserve more than survival—they deserve a community that will not leave them when things get hard.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can be part of this family, consider becoming a monthly supporter. Even a small recurring gift helps ensure that mothers and babies always have the care, love, and stability they need—today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
