Mary’s Helping Hand
Mary's Helping Hand is a growing community outreach initiative inspired by two women named Mary: Mother Mary, whose example reflects compassion, humility, and loving care for mothers and children, and my great-grandmother Mary, who raised my mother and her two brothers after their mother passed away.
My hope is to support mothers and families welcoming a new baby, especially those experiencing financial hardship or unexpected circumstances.
Currently, I am collecting donated baby and maternity essentials at Heart of the City in Wilsonville, Oregon, to distribute to families in need. I also hope to connect mothers with local organizations, community groups, and resources that can provide continued support.
Starting as a one-person effort, my vision is to eventually expand into surrounding communities, welcome volunteers, and build a network of people helping mothers and families feel supported and less alone.
