Message from the Director
INK My Dear Friends,
When we were entrusted with the care of the moms and babies at MOMMAS House, I believe we were to do so with joy, patience and love. I am not being naïve but I find it a great deal more rewarding to view our mission using those attributes. In some instances this is a very hard job; so “tough” love is required. Many of our families have never lived in an environment that was structured and they had no expectations of a different life. With MOMMAS House’s help they have learned to care for themselves and their children throughout pregnancy, giving birth and parenting. They set their sights on attaining educational/training goals and they anticipate that they can live independently. As a result, 30% of our moms are attending college and/or post-secondary education and 50% of our moms are working part or full-time. Upon their arrival at MOMMAS House, many had no job experience, so this is a new concept for them. They have not had a permanent home address and their lives were so filled with uncertainty and chaos, that to maintain employment, or even school attendance, was very difficult.
There are three moms who are college students but had no place to live. One was living in a car, parked in a driveway, and going to college during the day. It seems hard to believe, but circumstances brought her to this point and she did not want to lose her scholarship. MOMMAS House offered her the opportunity to not only have a home, but to hold onto a dream!
I know that this program works and that there are many women and children who have achieved more than was ever expected. This is only possible with your support. This newsletter is in your hands for a reason; you may be able to help or know someone who can. We are well on our way to being able to purchase one of the houses that we currently rent. It just makes fiscal sense to put that rental fee towards procuring the property. By now, with what we have paid out in rent, we could have owned one of our three homes. Whatever you can do, will be greatly appreciated.
Because it is obvious that we do not have marketing or development staff, I try to get advice and inspiration from other appeals. Recently I received a letter regarding donation of stocks. It seems that this is a good time to transfer appreciated securities to MOMMAS House because you will receive two tax benefits. 1) For making a donation to a charity and 2) you will not have to pay capital gains tax. Seems like a good deal! Any stock donation would be processed through Smith-Barney; the DTC #0015 and Acct. # 256129357.

UNWANTED CAR?
Donate to MOMMAS House
With the success of our Drive to Thrive program, many of our mother’s are obtaining their driver’s licenses and are now in need of some wheels! If you have a working car you want to get rid of, please consider donating it to MOMMAS House. The car will be given to any resident who has obtained her driver’s license and begun working. All donations are tax deductible, and this would be a wonderful gift for one of our young mother’s just starting their careers. Please contact the office at 516-781-8637. Special thanks to the Hongthong family and Holzwarth family for donating cars this year!
Ashely, Shania and Mariana have started or continued their college educations and all are thriving academically.
Serrina completed a vocational training program. Dianne, Shaqway, Bernadette, Shania, Ashley, Jennifer, Teuta, Tasha, Andrea, Natalie, Bethzaida, Shawanna and Kristen all began working.
Many other moms enrolled in educational or vocational programs to start on their path to employment. They attended classes and workshops to improve their parenting skills, financial management, nutrition and health, among other topics. Several went to counseling to help them address unresolved issues from their past, so they could improve their futures!
Dianne, Andrea, Tara, Deanna, Yisell, Teuta, and Charisma moved into their own apartments! Some of our other moms and babies were able to reunite with family, giving them access to long-term housing and support.
Of course our greatest accomplishments come in the form of welcoming healthy new babies into the world and providing them with a safe home to begin their lives. The stork has been busy making deliveries at MOMMAS House:

Natalie was thrilled with her “new” car which she received thanks to the generosity of Alice Hongthong and family

The last few years we were able to raise some badly needed funds, and make room for grace at the same time with successful Yard Sales. Thank you crew – you are awe-some! Hope to see you next time! Be on the lookout for our next Yard Sale!
We would like to shine a spotlight on Erik Schaffer, C.P. of A Step Ahead Prosthetics in Hicksville, NY who has made the very first pair of legs for Isaiah, a six year old boy currently living in our Glen Cove residence who was born without legs. Erik and his staff, especially Isaiah’s therapist, Phil, and the Program Director, Amy Palmiero-Winters have devoted countless hours and resources to giving Isaiah legs and teaching him how to walk! This outstanding facility is making this little boy’s dreams come true.
Additional thanks to the LI Center for Independent Living for lending a wheelchair for Isaiah to use while waiting for his legs!

THANK YOU ALL!
VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT… Chaplain Bob Lopez I learned about Mommas House through the Respect Life Office and the Sisters of Life. I was encouraged by the caring commitment with young moms and their children. About two years ago, I spoke with Pat and asked to offer my support in a very real manner as a chaplain/pastoral counselor to moms of all faiths. I provide both emotional and spiritual support to the moms in order for them to be welcomed, encouraged, reconciled and strengthened within a caring community. Spirituality implies energy, meaning and hope, and an awareness of God in the journey of life. I facilitate pastoral care groups at least 2x per month at each house. The groups have included: prayer, reflection, journaling, sharing feelings, hopes and goals, forgiveness, gratitude, healing and coping with life situations. I communicate and follow up with MH staff for insight and to offer spiritual assessment. MH helps the young ladies in providing a safe place to grow and gain strength personally, educationally, spiritually, and most importantly in the parenting of their children. Folks can help MH through continuing volunteer and financial support. They can also create awareness of the needs of young mothers in their churches and community. I have been married for 38 years to my wife, Kathy. I am a father of a son and daughter and a grandfather. I am very involved in babysitting my two young grandsons. I also have twin grandsons who will be born in the Fall. I am a retired guidance counselor and youth minister. I am active in my parish, Sts. Peter and Paul in Manorville, serving as a Eucharistic Minister. I am also a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus, and I am a Board Certified Catholic Lay Chaplain. Personally, I enjoy history, movies with meaning and Disney movies, puppets, traveling, and I am an avid NY Mets fan.

FUNDRAISING REPORT
MOMMAS, Inc. INK Summer 2014
Capital Fund Campaign Update
The current status of the Capital Fund Campaign is past the halfway mark! Most of the original pledges have been fulfilled. In order that we keep the project alive, we would be most grateful if a few of you would consider hosting a reception at your home/business or anywhere feasible to accommodate an inti-mate gathering. Light refreshments only, as the main purpose is to have a platform on which to explain what MOMMAS House is and what it hopes to accomplish. No high pressure tactics are ever used, only the distribution of information and ways one might help if so inclined. Our goal is to purchase another multi-family home for our mothers who are ready for more independent living. Please consider investing in the future of MOMMAS House and the women and babies we serve. See the contribution page of this newsletter!
Acknowledging Our Grantors and Major Supporters... We would like to thank the following:
A very special thank you to Bill and Virginia Waite for their very generous donation, which took us from red to black on our balance sheet - you make us smile!

FUNDRAISING REPORT On December 15, 2013 our Annual Gala was held at the Swan Club, honoring the Patricia Pryor-Bonica of Pryor Personnel. Pat is a member of the MOMMAS House board of Directors and has stood out as an significant supporter worthy of recognition. The event, MOMMAS biggest annual fundraiser, was well-attended and suc-cessful by all measures, raising over $100,000 for the programs of MOMMAS House.
On December 12, 2013 we were once again treated to the music of the gifted North Shore Pops Concert Band. These men and women, conducted by Eric Albinder, have generously given of their time and talent for a de-lightful, annual Christmas Concert Benefit - truly embodying the spirit of the season.
On April 5, 2014 The Studio, a new full-service beauty salon in Merrick, NY hosted a fundraiser for MOMMAS House, helping us spread the word about our program and earn some much needed funds. Check it out, this place is amazing!
On May 6, 2014, MOMMAS House was honored to be a finalist again in the 2nd Annual L.I. Imagine Awards, a prestigious recognition given the most effective, innovative nonprofits.
God bless those of you that answered our small End of Year and Valentine Appeals. As we are all aware, these are austere times and non-profits are always hit the hardest. Your generosity helped reduce our deficit - you touched our hearts!

In 2013 we tragically lost Quanasia Rich. She was a beautiful young mother who had been a resident of
MOMMAS House during her pregnancy and early parenting. She passed away suddenly, leaving behind her baby boy, Zy’aire, and a great number of grieving friends and family. She had hopes of becoming a nurse and raising her son to be a happy and healthy individual. Please keep Quanasia and her son in your thoughts and prayers.
We regretfully say farewell to Richard Goodwin a man of great integrity who supported MOMMAS House for many years. We keep him and his wife, Irene, in our prayers.
