The Happy Way Foundation takes special care of young mothers from orphanages and those who start independent lives after leaving them. In Warsaw and Lodz we support about 40 young mothers and their children. These brave young girls are most often accompanied by uncertainty and loneliness, and a difficult past does not make it easy to enter the new role of parent. That is why we have prepared a comprehensive support program for them.

PREGNANCY – AND WHAT’S NEXT?

Ewa was raised in foster care for most of her life. When she found out she was pregnant she was forced to leave home. Lack of support, fear of early and single motherhood is, unfortunately, the reality of many young girls who become pregnant while staying in orphanages or foster families. Ewa went to live in a Single Mother’s Home and waited with trepidation to give birth.

Ewa was raised in foster care for most of her life. When she found out she was pregnant she was forced to leave home. Lack of support, fear of early and single motherhood is, unfortunately, the reality of many young girls who become pregnant while staying in orphanages or foster families. Ewa went to live in a Single Mother’s Home and waited with trepidation to give birth.

When we found out about Ewa’s situation, we immediately offered her the help of an Independence Assistant, who supports mothers-to-be and young mothers in all (un)everyday matters. Ewa, with the help of her Assistant and midwife, prepared for the birth and felt more confident in her role as a mom-to-be. Thanks to the support of big-hearted people, it was also possible to complete a layette for the little one and renovate the baby’s corner in the social apartment where Ewa moved in with her son.

Lack of role models causes fear of new responsibilities. That’s why, after giving birth, Ewa took the help of a therapist and consultations with an educator, which helped the young mother acquire new parenting skills. Now Ewa feels more confident, is calmer and knows that she wants to fight for a good future for herself and her son.

THE PATH TO HAPPY MOTHERHOOD

Alicja is a mother of two fantastic girls. Since she was a child, she lived in various kinds of institutions, and when she turned 18 she started living at a friend’s house. With two small children, she occupied a room with space for one bed for the girls and a blanket on the floor for mom.

A friend brought Ala to a support group, during which young mothers exchange experiences and, together with the leader, solve current problems by helping each other. Encouraged by the facilitator and the girls, the young mom took advantage of the help of an Independence Assistant, who helped Alicia get out on her own and obtain social housing. Thanks to the support of Donors, it was also possible to purchase the necessary furniture. Alicia no longer sleeps on the floor, and each of the girls has her own bed and, most importantly, a real home!

A big problem is also the lack of help from loved ones on a daily basis due to which young mothers are unable to combine motherhood with education or work. The Foundation provided Ali with the support of a caregiver so she could go to work. Alicia would also like to finish school, in which we will support her.

With your support, the girls have a chance to become confident and happy moms, and their children to have a happy childhood!
