Mary’s Shelter
Impacting Fragile Lives in 2013
Thanks to our many faithful supporters, Mary’s Shelter
completed its 19th year of caring for pregnant minors who chose life
for their babies. The Annual Report is inside this newsletter.
In fulfillment of our mission, Mary’s Shelter provided a
safe home and loving care for a total of 39 teen mothers and 29
of their children in 2013. On the next pages you will learn what
we did to promote the births of ten healthy babies, and how we
helped our girls mature into nurturing mothers and acquire the
life skills they need to succeed on their own as single parents. This
was accomplished through our dedicated professional staff, largely
funded by our generous donors, and by our committed volunteers
and service partners.
The enclosed summary of our audited financial report shows
that Mary’s Shelter was able to cover its operating expenses as well
as build reserves toward capital replacements and to help weather
future economic uncertainties. Private donations from our many
supporters totaled $20,000 more than in the prior year, (thank you
very much) and government subsidies were also higher since an
At our annual Board Changeover Meeting on January
20th, Chairman Jerry Sheehy extended appreciation to
Peggy Holmes, Martha Sears, and Frank Serna who
completed a total of 15 years of service on the Mary’s
Shelter Board of Directors. New Chairwoman Masheed
Saidi then acknowledged Chairman Jerry Sheehy for his
board leadership over the last three years.
New President Marilu Morency welcomed six new
directors to the board to provide leadership and governance
for the next three years: Glory Curtis, John Fetta,
Kathy Reese, Dan Wickham, Marc Williams and Luke
Ziegenmeyer. Thank you all for stepping forward to
continue the tradition of helping Mary’s Shelter change
lives – two at a time!
In This Issue:
average of one more teen was placed with us each month by county
social service agencies. We also held our expenses down enabling us
to end the year positively.
Yet, just like families, we start every year from zero. That
is why we will greatly appreciate all levels of financial support for
this ministry to continue from every individual, family, business,
church, organization and foundation that partners with our staff and
volunteers to change lives, two at a time.
How can you make sure this ministry continues to serve the
vulnerable girls that have chosen life for their babies and will walk
through our doors in 2014? Sign up for regular monthly gifts in
any amount, visit our website to learn more about Mary’s Shelter,
tell your family and friends why you help our teen mothers and
encourage them to do the same, ask for a matching gift from your
employer, include the Mary’s Shelter Endowment Fund in your
estate plans, call to arrange for a tour or to volunteer, and come
to our Gala to meet other supporters. We are all doing God’s work
together.

Mary’s Shelter in 2013 –
Changing Lives Two at a Time
Mission – What we do and Why: Believing that every life is a gift from God, Mary’s Shelter empowers and equips vulnerable teen mothers and their
babies for lives of dignity, hope and self-sufficiency.

values-centered independent citizens.

Thank You Lennar Homes!
We can’t say thank you enough to Lennar Homes! This
national homebuilder that is active in our community adopted
Mary’s Shelter in December, enhancing the living environment of
our homes for our teen mom and their babies and truly living the
spirit of Christmas.
The company and their employees and partners eagerly
accomplished a host of facilities maintenance projects in just one
week: painting three bedrooms, garage doors, front door, gate
and house trim; rebuilding a kitchen island and replacing sinks,
range tops, range hoods and granite counter tops in both houses;
providing new carpeting in one home, cleaning the grout in the
