Helpers of God's Precious Infants
at Cherry Hill NJ

Mission Statement
To provide for needy expectant mothers in the areas of
food, clothing for themselves and their unborn, furniture, day care, mentoring
and counseling. We also help pay for telephone and electric bills, apartment
or house rentals and so on.
Who do we serve?
Our clients are mostly young minority women who find
themselves in an unexpected pregnancy situation and are in urgent need of just
the very basics of life. A roof over their head, clothing, food, etc. The
majority of them honestly want to find work and begin rebuilding their self
esteem.
Are there alternatives for these women?
One might ask, why can’t these women get assistance from
the state welfare system instead of private donations from organizations such as
the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants. The answer is simple. The state of NJ
and many others have drastically reduced such aid, even their energy assistance
programs (heat, electricity , etc) are all oversubscribed with long lines of
applicants waiting to get help. About the only financial help these girls can
count on are food stamps ($338/mo.) and welfare ($322/mo.) and not all are
eligible for both. That comes to $7920 a year to live on. Not much if you have
2 or 3 children and are expecting another very soon. If you were a women living
under these conditions, it’s easy to understand how every day is a tedious
battle to keep your head above water. And how desperate one can become
wondering how in the world you could possibly survive. We at the helpers
understand their plight and why they keep falling into these situations of
getting pregnant with no commitment from the father of the child. Like every
human being under stress, with little hope on the horizon and fighting
depression each week, they are searching for relief knowing full well how very
hard it is for them to rise above their station in life without a lot of help
from the outside.
One can even understand their fruitless yearning for love
even if it comes in the form of a non-committed boyfriend who promises them the
world.
