At Good Counsel, every new life is a reminder of why this mission matters. Even in moments of uncertainty, hope has a way of arriving in the most beautiful and unexpected ways.

Recently, our Good Counsel family received such a blessing.

Kenya welcomed her baby boy, Kenzo, into the world on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Kenzo made his entrance nearly two months early, weighing just 2 pounds, 7 ounces. Though tiny, he arrived surrounded by the love, prayers, and support that define the Good Counsel community.

Doctors are calling Kenzo “a growing preemie,” a phrase that beautifully captures both the reality and the promise of his journey. Because of his early arrival, Kenzo is currently receiving specialized care in the NICU, where he is steadily growing stronger each day. While his path will require patience and careful medical attention, his story is already one of resilience and hope.

For mothers facing difficult circumstances, having a place of safety and support can make all the difference. At Good Counsel, we believe that no mother should ever have to face pregnancy alone, and no child should begin life without a community that believes in their future.

Kenya’s journey, like that of many mothers who come through our doors, is a reminder that when women are supported, both mother and child can thrive—even in challenging circumstances. Through safe housing, emotional support, and practical resources, Good Counsel provides the stability mothers need during pregnancy and beyond.

Kenzo’s early arrival highlights another powerful truth: life is fragile, but it is also incredibly strong. Babies like Kenzo remind us that every ounce of care, every prayer, and every act of generosity matters. The support of our Good Counsel family allows mothers to focus on what matters most—caring for their babies and preparing for the future.

Right now, Kenya can focus on visiting Kenzo, praying for his continued growth, and preparing for the day she can bring him home. That sense of security comes from the community that surrounds her: staff, volunteers, donors, and supporters who make this mission possible.

When you support Good Counsel, you become part of stories like Kenzo’s. You help create the safe homes where mothers find stability. You help ensure babies receive the care and support they need to grow strong. And you help build a community where hope replaces fear.

Today, we ask you to consider becoming a monthly supporter of Good Counsel.

Monthly pledges provide the steady support that keeps our homes open and our programs running. They allow us to respond to the needs of mothers and babies—whether that means preparing a safe place for a new mom, providing essentials for a newborn, or supporting a family during unexpected medical challenges like Kenzo’s.

Even a small monthly gift can make a lasting difference.

Please keep Kenzo and Kenya in your prayers as Kenzo continues to grow stronger in the NICU. We look forward to the day when he can leave the hospital and continue his journey surrounded by the love and stability of the Good Counsel family.

Together, we can ensure that every mother has a safe place to turn and every baby has the chance to grow.

Because every life is a blessing—and every family deserves hope.
