SHARE A STORYRead about survivors at ourrescue.org/blog or on our social media.

Find a story that speaks to you and share it with others. One of our partnering South American aftercare homes is specifically for teenage moms and their babies. Some of the girls become moms at ages as young as eleven or twelve. No girl should have to be a mom at such a young age, but each of these young girls have embraced motherhood with love and work incredibly hard to give their babies the best lives possible. At the home, the babies’ birthdays are special days. Hours are spent decorating the home and preparing food for the party. The afternoon is spent dancing and laughing, and the party always includes a cake and a piñata. This is not only a celebration for the babies, but also a celebration for the girls as they celebrate another year of being a mother. Even though these little girls have had to grow up so fast, they are determined to be the best moms possible because they know what it is like to not have a loving family and they are determined to love and care for their babies in ways that they were not cared for themselves.
