Dear Friend,

Who will you celebrate this Mother's Day... your mom,
grandmother, a friend or loved one?

Whoever it is, I'm sure you agree that a mother's love is
powerful. The same goes for moms at our Volunteers of America centers
and programs, going the distance for their children so that
they'll have better, healthier lives together.

Ashley Isaacs was willing to do whatever it took for a brighter future
for her baby girl, Ayva. Growing up around substance use disorder and
struggling herself, Ashley knew she had to make changes. But she
didn't know how, and also feared being separated from her infant
daughter in the process.

VOA's Freedom House was there to support mom AND child.
Ashley learned the root cause of her illness working with our
certified counsellors, and she accessed tools to recover and rebuild
all while continuing to raise her baby.

This Mother's Day, we are so grateful for you, and for
innovative places like Freedom House that you make possible. Together
we're giving moms the chance to be moms - to love and
raise their kids, while making themselves whole again through
treatment, job training and support.

Today, Ashley is paying it forward. She now volunteers at Freedom
House, helping other moms achieve the same outcome. She even helped
develop the program materials! And of course, she continues to raise
Ayva, in the comfort of their own home.

Thank you for empowering moms like Ashley through your generosity to
Volunteers of America, and for valuing the vital role that moms
contribute to our communities. We wish you and your loved ones a very
happy Mother's Day!

With gratitude,

Tanisha Smith, Vice President
Volunteers of America

Special thanks to our friends at Volunteers of America Mid-States for
sharing Ashley and Ayva's story!
