About the Organization
Saint Child (formerly known as House of Ruth) exists to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of pregnant young women and their children by providing a safe nurturing community. We are a Community Model home that provides stable, secure and nurturing residential care for young women ages 18 and up and their infants. We are a trauma informed, strengths based program that utilizes a Positive Youth Development model.
We are honored to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ while we serve young women regardless of their faith background. We believe that communities can provide security, belonging and healthy human relationships. We will model and teach respect, honesty, and nurturing in our community.
Every young woman in our community receives comprehensive services to help her prepare for the birth of her baby and plan for parenting or adoption.Young women enter the home at any point during their pregnancy and may stay up to a year after their baby is born.
