Could you imagine being a new mother and not being able to feed, clothe or shelter your newborn baby? For many new mothers living on the streets or in temporary shelters, that is the horrific reality of their lives. We see it each day at our Franciscan Food Center in Boston and at St Francis Inn and Women's Center in inner city Philadelphia. The impact of homelessness on mothers is profound. We watch them experience anger, self-blame, sadness, fear and hopelessness.  As we celebrate all mothers during the month of May, the Franciscan Friars need your help raising $10,000 so we can supply these new mothers who are in need with the basic necessities for their children's survival. Your generous donation enables us to purchase diapers, wipes, formula and so much more to make their child's life safe and sound- a mother's constant dream.
