2301 South 15 Street, Omaha, NE 68108 (402) 502-9224 Dear potential resident Thank you for contacting us. An application form and questionnaire are enclosed. You may return it by e-mail, print it and send it in -- or bring it with you. When we get to meet, I will give you a resident handbook. Of course, we do have a structured environment and encourage our residents to be working on education or continuing on a job if they have one. Volunteer work at a nearby nursing home is also an option. We include the program on Healing the Culture (The 4 Levels of Happiness) and Earn While You Learn (a parenting program). We are adapting our programs and policies from other maternity homes and are adjusting them as needed. Many businesses and volunteers have done much to make sure the building is comfortable and home-like. We will do our best to help each resident adjust and find a path in life that suits her. There are many community resources we can utilize. One of the first items of importance is to get you on housing lists. We utilize professional pregnancy counselors from several agencies to help sort through the many decisions each mom will encounter. The avenues of parenting and adoption will be presented but the decision is solely that of the mother. Although we are Catholic based, we welcome women from any or no religion. I briefly explain our traditions and encourage all our residents to be involved in religious services somewhere each weekend. I look forward to meeting you. When the application and questionnaire are returned, I will send a questionnaire to each of the three references that you list. Our new mothers are welcome to stay after her baby is born until around 6 weeks after the birth of her baby. Praying for you Gina Freimuth Executive Director
