how we have helped

These people genuinely care about the women and their children, and all they want to do is see you thrive. It’s not just a place to sleep every night.

St. Raymond's have been just a great support because being a single struggling mother is not easy. I can't thank the staff and organization enough for all they have done.

Living at St. Ray’s House was a profound experience for me.  I learned so much while living there!  My biggest take away was probably in the life skills department, especially time management and self-discipline.  The thing I like best about St. Ray’s is that I will always be a part of the St. Raymond’s Society.  I still meet with my Success Coaches every week and my Accountability Partner every month.  The kids and I are invited to all of the St. Ray’s outings, celebrations and events.  The only difference is that I have my own house now so sometimes we meet here.

I was a single mother myself, but I was fortunate enough to have strong family support.  I shudder to think where I might have ended up without it.  I know first-hand how important it is to have encouragement and support when you are trying to work, go to school, and build a life for yourself and your child.  I am so pleased that we have a St. Raymond’s Society to help these young mothers navigate through all of the barriers that would otherwise prevent her from succeeding.
