All of our homes have been a flurry of excitement as of late.  From the down at Mary's Shelter Gulf Coast to the five local homes here in the north, baby blessings abound!

Please welcome baby girl Xanitah, who just happens to be the 1,082nd (!) baby born into the Good Counsel family.  Her mom, K'Shonna, is a resident at one of our New York homes.  Xanitah was born on August 21st at 3:42 a.m.  She weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces.  Mom and baby are doing very well, bonding, and getting to know one another.  Wait until you see how cute she is!

Told you so!  Thanks to the prayerful and financial support of you, the friends of Good Counsel, a young woman who was once scared, confused, and despairing, found hope and life - not to mention the cuteness factor!

Along with celebrating 1,082 (and counting!) babies, we also celebrate our ability to provide countless nights of shelter, thousands of Life Skills classes, and hundreds of hours counseling, guiding each mother as she journeys from despair to hope. We ask for your continued prayers for our dedicated staff and volunteers in 2017.
