Your Donation Makes a Difference

Our program is creating a lasting change that will affect not only the lives of the mothers we serve and the lives of their children, but also the generations that will follow.

We appreciate the SIZE OF THE GAP between poverty & homelessness to living wage jobs & economic security.

We are willing to stand in the gap by providing the basic needs and providing innovative, practical solutions that empower homeless, low-income, single mothers to reach economic self-sufficiency.

The strategic program is in place and already creating amazing results!
All we need now is for people like you to agree to “stand in the gap” with us.

Please give your most generous contribution TODAY to help us provide for the basic needs of these families while the mothers focus on becoming self-sufficient.

Please note the location you’d like your donation to be dedicated to in the Memo section on the Donate Form, if applicable.

"It is estimated as a nation that we spend approximately $1.1 billion total or $35,000 per homeless person each year in order to pay for healthcare, emergency shelters, and criminal justice and social services” (University of Toronto Medical Journal, 2004). Accordingly, SRS equates to a $19 return on investment (as preventative savings) for every community $1 spent. (Community Asset Builders, Jefferson City)

how we have helped

I can honestly say that I love my RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING life and it’s all thanks to St. Raymond’s Society.

Faith

With the encouragement of my Success Coach, I had finally worked up the courage to pursue my dream of becoming an x-ray technician. Then I got the devastating news that I was not eligible for any government assistance to help cover the costs. We looked at every possible option and couldn’t find a solution, so my Success Coach and I made a commitment to pray and ask God to provide a way for me to go to college. And God must have been listening because within 24 hours, a family decided that they would donate the cost of my education to St. Raymond’s. Now I am even more motivated than before to earn my degree, because people who have never even met me believe in me and my future enough to invest in it!

I wish I would have had the support and knowledge that St. Raymond's Society offers these young mothers when I was younger. I am amazed at what they are able to accomplish and blessed to have been able to help with these young ladies and their babies.

We are impressed with the way St. Raymond’s Society invests TIME as well as money in the families they serve. During a tour of the St. Ray’s House, the program director explained the curriculum they use with the moms, My RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING Life, in detail including the research behind it. It is fascinating, to say the least. It’s no wonder it is creating such astonishing results.
