Providing Help, Hope and Healing
It is hard to believe we are already well into 2024. Lifehouse Maternity Home continues to be a busy place with new program participants, babies, and toddlers. We remain committed to our mission of providing help, hope, and healing for pregnant and parenting women and their children. As Lifehouse looks forward to 2024, and our 16th year, we are blessed to have welcomed 95 babies since opening our doors in 2008. We have watched our program participants flourish and thrive, changing the trajectory of their family tree by ending cycles of neglect, abuse, poverty and addiction. We are excited to see how God will use our partnership with you to transform lives and introduce our program participants to Jesus.
I recognize the past year has been financially challenging, and we are deeply grateful for your support of Lifehouse Maternity Home. I appreciate you sharing your gifts of time, talent, treasure and prayer for women and children who come through our doors. I am thrilled to report our year end appeal raised $138,667!!! Thank you for your generosity! But our work is not done. As we continue to face rising costs, our budget has to increase as well. Lifehouse will need to raise over $630,000 to meet our budgeted expenses for 2024. Please prayerfully consider if you are able to help Lifehouse in 2024 with a monthly gift or by increasing your monthly gift. This is the best way to ensure that Lifehouse has the resources needed to provide the safe space, food, heat, water, guidance and support our program participants need.
Your monthly gift can be set up securely by using a credit card or by ACH through your bank by visiting our website www. LifehouseLouisville.org/donate or using the QR code below. If you would like to increase your monthly gift, please call 502-897-1655, and we can make that adjustment for you. Another great way to help Lifehouse is to consider a gift from your IRA, Donor Advised Fund, or including Lifehouse in your will or as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy. Please consult with a tax advisor for further information on these opportunities. And let Lifehouse know if you take any of these actions.
Do you have prayer requests? Our maternity house staff will be lifting you and your family in prayer, and I encourage you to share your prayer requests with us at lifehouse@ lifehouselouisville.org. Most of all I pray for God’s blessings to you and your family in the coming year. Here’s to hoping God blesses you even more in 2024!
