Today, we celebrate the birthday of Mother's Heart founder and superstar mum, Katrina Gliddon!
Mother's Heart Organization is proud to continue your vision into our 11th year of supporting women in crisis pregnancy. On behalf of the women and children impacted through the Crisis Pregnancy Support Program, we wish you a wonderful birthday!
As we start the year for a more positive outlook of what 2021 can bring, we also closed chapter to one of the most difficult years in living memory. While there is still much work to do to help our beneficiaries heal and recover from the events of 2020, we want to take a moment to celebrate our partnership with GlobalGiving.
Every year, GlobalGiving recognizes the work of its partners and gives awards and badges. For 2021, we are happy to announce that we have been given four badges for our work! Mother's Heart has also been recognized as a vetted, top-ranked organization, and effective organization by GlobalGiving for being actively engaged in the community and a trusted change-maker in the world. In addition, we have been awarded the site visit verified organization. This year, our goal is to add the GlobalGiving's Staff Favourite award in our collection so we are all going to put in extra effort to achieve this goal.
Thank you for your generosity and support to Mother's Heart! We could have not done our work without all of you!
