Client Story
The CAPCC and Aerie Maternity Home have significantly impacted my healing, restoration, and recovery journey.
I found out that I was pregnant at the age of 40. I was several years into a severe drug addiction and in a very abusive relationship. I had lost everything, including my home, family, and my other children. I finally acknowledged I had a drug problem and that I needed help when I was six months pregnant. As a result of my choices, my daughter was born prematurely and was apprehended at birth.
Thankfully, my parents welcomed me back into their home with open arms. It was at this point that I reached out to the CAPCC, who showed me unconditional love and helped me learn many things, including healthy relationships and being a better parent.
Even though I was growing, it was the darkest hours of my life without my baby. I worked hard to be free from the bondages that kept me stuck. I knew all things are possible with God, and I was willing to do what I needed.
I'm so happy to say that my life has completely changed. My daughter now lives with me at the Maternity home, and the file with Children Services has been closed! I've been able to start fresh. The CAPCC has allowed me to raise my daughter in a safe and healthy environment. I have hope for the future and can work on my healing while feeling loved and cared for.

Phase 2 of The Aerie has the capacity for seven women and their infants. In this phase, they each have their own one-bedroom, self-contained suite while accessing support staff day and night. Residents who continue to meet program outcomes may stay until their child is up to four years of age. These women will have the opportunity to pursue education and employment while strengthening their parenting and life skills. These include financial literacy, pre-employment skills, and healthy relationships.
