Through relational, one-on-one advocacy, our work strengthens families, promotes stability, and helps keep parents and children together. In the United States, foster children are disproportionately removed from birth mothers who live below the federal poverty line. Every year, the number of children entering into foster care increases and the leading cause is poverty and unmet basic needs. It is
our vision to eradicate unjust causes for family separation, that no child is removed from their mother due to circumstances linked to poverty. Our programs are designed to holistically support and provide meaningful and intentional care to 1) moms at-risk of loosing children into the foster care system in an effort to safely prevent family separation and 2) moms with children currently in the foster care system in an effort to support a successful reunification. The ĒMA model is a wrap-around approach to a modern crisis that mobilizes communities to engage in ongoing, sustainable solutions. We imagine a world where every mother has equal opportunity to break generational cycles of poverty and where a community is responsive to her needs.
