Mom, Rachel sits proudly next to her tiny new baby. This baby, born weighing only 1.9 ounces truly is a miracle. Without Bethany House miracles like this would diminish because young, pregnant women would have nowhere to turn. Please read the following letter carefully with an open heart.

Dear Friends,                                                                                        

Bethany House could close by the end of June. 

You and a small group of other faithful people have provided the support and encouragement that has allowed us to care for the 440 girls and their babies God has brought to us over the past 18 years.   Recent economic challenges have caused a number of people to cut back their support or suspend it altogether resulting in a $6,000 deficit each month.  If nothing changes our savings will be completely depleted in June. 

 Tragically, pregnant girls needing shelter may not have anywhere else to go.  Three other maternity homes in the Portland/Vancouver area have closed recently.  Yet, the number of girls desperate to save the lives of their babies has not diminished.   More people are now needed to provide the financial support so these girls can have a safe, nurturing environment to have their babies. 

From the beginning, we have striven to be good stewards of the resources God has provided us.  We have focused the vast majority of our resources on the care of the girls under our roof and preparing them for their lives as new mothers.  We have lacked sufficient resources to reach out to others to help share the blessing of providing the needed support.  We have sought the counsel and accountability of others to guide us, and we are actively seeking foundation grants to pay for out-reach efforts, but these take more time than we currently have.   We desperately need you to pray about others you know who also have a heart for unborn children and their mothers.  Our website www.bethanyhousenet.org has more information and the ability for you to make online donations.  

Executive Director, Bethany House
