This photo is full of some of our favorite people: the volunteers of Polo in the Palisades. 💚

It’s Grad Season, and we couldn’t be prouder of Miriam’s House’s very own alumni and residents who are out there killing it! 🎓✨

Please join us in giving a HUGE shoutout to Marie O. , who has earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture Design from California State University, Long Beach. 🎨🏠
Marie, this is an incredible feat, and your hard work continues to inspire us all.

And that’s not all—we also want to celebrate our very own resident Shyann , who just received her high school diploma! 🎓💪 This is the first step into her great future, and we could not be more excited for everything ahead.

Let’s cheer for both of these amazing women.

Last week, we received a very special visit during our Thursday meeting. Our friend Holly Tishbi stopped by, and together with the Beauty Bus Foundation, all of our residents received an amazing bag full of beauty and self-care items.

We are so grateful to have supporters like Holly. Thank you for making our residents feel seen and cared for.

Please take a few minutes to read this powerful, moving essay telling the story of “A Foremothers Day at Miriam’s House”. Written by our very own Dr. Louise Stanger, she put feelings into words so beautifully, that it is sure to stop you in your tracks.

This moving tribute captures the true heart of our mission and the lasting legacy of mothers who are brave enough to end the cycle of generational addiction.

Dr. Louise Stanger has written several books and has just released her new book, Trauma Is Your Superpower — because your wounds become wisdom, and your trauma becomes your superpower. ✨

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Pre-Mother’s Day Brunch. Thanks to you, we raised $115,000 and that means housing, healing, and hope for families who truly need it.
This year, the Marketplace brought something truly special to the day, and watching you all enjoy it together reminded us why we do what we do. Already counting down to next year. 💛

We cannot wait to welcome you for an afternoon of great food, great company, and the greatest purpose. This is going to be a truly beautiful event, and we’re honored to share it with all of you.

🌸 Celebrating moms, dreams, and the future. 🌸

This past weekend, we held our Annual Mother’s Day Scholarship event and it was nothing short of beautiful.
Every one of our incredible residents received a scholarship to invest in their education and help them build a stronger future. Each woman submitted an essay, a budget, and a vision for what their future could look like. We had an array of professions represented: LVN, CCAP, Behavior Tech, Peer Specialist, Culinary School, and even a vision for a lash technician!

We were so moved by the family members who showed up to cheer on their loved ones as they received their scholarships. Your presence made this moment even more
special. 💕

Thank you for trusting us to walk alongside you. Here’s to planting hope, and watching it
grow. 🌱
