$40,000 is our goal by July 15th
When I was working for a maternity home a few years ago, I had a vision for the crisis pregnancy center to be a bigger part of the community with education and empowerment for women who may not have needed a place to stay but needed guidance as she navigated single parenthood or a crisis pregnancy.
Many may not know but since 2021 Cape Coral, even though we have approximately 26% of the population of Lee county, hasn’t had a Pregnancy Resource Center. My vision is to bring one back to Cape Coral.
My background includes starting and running a grassroots nonprofit for almost 20 years to single mothers living in poverty in Middle Tennessee. Even though we closed that chapter, single mothers and crisis pregnancy have always been my heart and God-given passion.
Before we can start helping women, their unborn children and even children they may already have, we need to raise the bare operating expenses which include rent, utilities, insurances and phone service.
We have found a perfect office space to house the ministry in downtown Cape Coral but can’t even think of signing a lease until we have funds or the minimum; commitments for the next 12 months.
We estimate:
rent to be $2000/ month
phones and internet around $150-200/ month
Insurance to run $6000 for the first year ( this would include general liability, E and O and D and O)
Utilities (water and garbage are included in the rent at the one office complex we are looking at) so Electric I am guessing would run around $300-$500
As you can see we need to raise around $40,000 a year just to keep the doors open every year but more than that the first year with deposits to leasing companies and utility companies.We have so many exciting things we want to do to empower single mothers that if I keep going I may never get this blog published.
If you would like more information or meet for coffee please let me know.
We do pray that you would partner with us, Alpha New Life Center, to bring hope and healing to single moms who are currently in a crisis pregnancy or single moms who are just needing a hand up as they navigate single parenthood.
