My experience at Mater Maria was a lot to learn from regarding my personal and spiritual life.
I moved into the house on June 3rd, 2017; I was just four months pregnant with difficulties when I moved in, and I had my baby on November 21st, 2018. When I moved in, I met the director in person – Marthalicia Burkle. She’s indeed a mother/Grandmother; she made me feel good by praying with me the very first day I got to the house; her hospitality is more than welcoming, and her husband too; they are both more than awesome. They made me know that there’s nothing impossible for God to handle, they took my problem and needs upon themselves without me lacking nothing.
I met other pregnant women there at the house, and we shared ideas and experiences to make us grow.
Not forgetting the volunteers, they are sweet and always there to render assistance to everyone in the house.
Feeding, clothing, spiritual support, and many others was never lacking at the house.
The Imas were very helpful, too, when I had my baby.
My delivery day was indeed a miracle. I have a beautiful baby girl who always made me see reasons to smile. I am so thankful to God for making me have an encounter with Mater Maria. It is indeed a place to be when you think all hope is lost. May God, in his infinite mercy, strengthen us when we’re down. God’s blessings be upon this home and upon the innocent babies.
Amen
