Why Gift of Mary? 

I began volunteering at the Red Door in 2022 and quickly fell in love with the ministry of serving those in need. During my time there, I heard about Gift of Mary and was deeply moved by the mission’s vision to accompany vulnerable women. I felt the Lord calling me to walk with these women on their journey, and they have become a tremendous blessing in my life. As Mother Teresa once said, she felt most at home with the outcasts of society, and I, too, have come to understand that home is not always a place, but the people you love and surround yourself with. This community has truly become like a second family to me. It is an honor to serve here, sharing Christ’s love with those who need it most. It is a gift to encounter Christ every day in these beautiful women.
