The Society's mission is to compassionately support and motivate North Shore women who are caring for their young children (newborn to 5 years old) in difficult and challenging situations. Priority is given to low-income families (which may include teenage mothers and new immigrants) and mothers of children with disabilities, developmental delays or behavioural challenges. Often mothers are dealing with physical or mental health issues. Sometimes they suffer from post-partum depression, or are running from abusive relationships, or are dependant on drugs and alcohol.
Our donation will be used to train and pay experienced caregivers.
