From a Mater Filius Mother
“When I came into Mater Filius, my life was a wreck. I said I wanted to become independent and to be able to live with my kids without needing support from other people in my life. I think one of the best things Mater Filius has to offer is the doulla program. My doulla, Lisa, came into my life at a very low point and she will forever be my “personal therapist.” Having that one person who is just your support is great and something I never had before in my life. After my daughter was born, I was able to enroll her in the Early Childhood Learning Center with my other two daughters.
What I learned at Mater Filius is that every woman has a different path, and the volunteers there will meet you where you are at. I have since moved out of Mater Filius. It is a relief to know I can drop off my kids there in the Early Childhood Learning Center and not think twice about whether they will be taken care of or not. Mater Filius is truly a blessing and the best Google search I ever made.”
