A note from Good Counsel Chief Development Officer and mother of four daughters, Carla Repollet:

As Labor Day approaches, we often think of it as a time to honor the hard work and contributions of American workers, a day of rest and relaxation with family and friends. But here at Good Counsel we see Labor Day through a different lens— a deeply personal one, and profoundly transformative.
Labor Day marks a significant milestone in the lives of the first-time mothers we support, and the word "labor" carries a particular meaning. It represents the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of bringing a new life into the world—a journey filled with love, care, and an unwavering commitment to the baby.
Just as Labor Day honors the achievements and contributions of workers, we honor the strength and dedication of our pregnant mothers. Their labor is not just a single day of work but a lifelong pledge to nurture, guide, and love their children. Mothers in our care faced challenges that many of us can only imagine, but they knew they wanted for their babies a better life than they had.
This Labor Day, we invite you to join us in celebrating the remarkable mothers of Good Counsel by supporting our mission. Your generosity allows us to provide such vital services as safe housing, medical care, educational opportunities, and emotional support for mothers and babies.
