Young motherhood is so often tainted by dread and uncertainty, finding hope amongst the hardship can be tiring. However, the Lily House charity is making a world of difference in the lives of young mums by offering safe living environments for women experiencing pregnancy struggles and homelessness. We spoke to co-founder and board member Darin Browne to discover how the charity turns these daunting situations into chances for growth and transformation.
After a history of fostering girls in their home, Darin Browne and his wife Fiona were inspired to create lasting change in young women’s lives. The couple pursued this vision by founding Lily House in May 2008 to provide care for young women during and after pregnancy.
The couple dreamt of establishing a place to transition young women into adulthood. “We feel our calling is … to actually transform their lives so that eventually they will become contributing members of society and actually make a difference in their world,” Darin said.
