“It was a big lifesaver when I found out about MiraVia because I really didn’t know what to do. I’m so grateful for everybody at MiraVia. I just loved interacting with all of the moms there because we were all family.” -Former College Residence Mom

“MiraVia was like a miracle. I didn’t believe that this was possible or even existed. The best part about being at MiraVia is they gave me the opportunity to get on my feet. The opportunity to find a job, go back to school, to be able to have that one-on-one time with my children. MiraVia has been nothing short of amazing! MiraVia saved my life when I had nobody or nothing. I would rate 100 stars if I could. Still to this day, the staff keeps in contact with me and checks on my babies. WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PLACE!” -Former College Residence Mom

“MiraVia was a life changer for me. Without this program I wouldn't have been able to be a mother or a student. I am truly grateful and blessed to have been granted the opportunity to live there.” -Former College Residence Mom

“MiraVia was an integral part of my journey. I could not have done it without them. The support and the guidance and the love: everything they gave to me got me to where I am today. My daughter is absolutely thriving.” -Former College Residence Mom

“When I found out I was pregnant, my biggest fear was how to finish college. I’m the first in my family to go to college and graduate, so it was a big deal to me. MiraVia was the reason I was able to stay in school. Thank you for all of the love and support you’ve given to me.” -Former College Residence Mom

“MiraVia was a wonderful gift for me and my son. Not only did I have friends there and support from the other moms, MiraVia also gave me the ability to work towards my goals. I knew that I would be able to finish school and also be a good mother, but I wouldn’t have been able to do it without MiraVia.” –Former College Residence Mom

“Immediately when I met the staff, I felt safe. I felt at home. I felt supported and that I had everything I needed … if you were to ask me what I would tell myself when I was pregnant, I would say just wait. Wait until you see the woman you’ll become.” -Former College Residence Mom

“When I first came to MiraVia, it was welcoming and calm for me. It was a good realization that I was going to finish school, and I was going to raise my baby. I was surrounded by open arms there. MiraVia was a wonderful gift for me and [my son]. Not only did I have friends there and support from the other moms, MiraVia also gave me the ability to work towards my goals. I knew that I would be able to finish school and also be a good mother, but I wouldn’t have been able to do it without MiraVia.” -Former College Residence Mom

“We didn’t have a crib. We didn’t have the essentials … MiraVia gave us a sense of home. It felt good to give my son a toddler bed, to give our baby a crib. MiraVia was there for us to find what we needed, even when it wasn’t on hand.” -Former Outreach Center Mom

“I'd like to extend my greatest appreciation to the organization for helping pregnant women. I must say during my pregnancy, I felt hopeless sometimes discouraged with great fear. But then I found MiraVia, which eased my mind and gave me comfort. Now I am so glad that I gave my baby a chance and didn't opt for an abortion. She is precious and truly a blessing from God and my family and everybody that has met her loves her.” -Former Outreach Center Mom

“I was a resident of MiraVia, and I cannot speak highly enough of how amazing the program is. They welcomed me and my daughter in with open arms, love, care, hope and showed me so much joy. I am forever grateful for the support they gave me while I continued my education. They truly were the start to the foundation I needed to get on my feet and to be the best mom I could be to my sweet baby girl. God truly blessed me with MiraVia, and I can't thank Him and MiraVia enough for being there in such a time of need. The moms, babies, and staff have become like a second family that I am so grateful for and still stay in contact with them. They supported me when I needed them most, and I will continue to support this organization because what they do for the moms and babies were and are a huge blessing.” -Former College Residence Mom

“MiraVia was a home to my son and me for two years. The program has been a HUGE blessing in our lives. I was able to graduate while being a collegiate athlete and a new mom because of the support I have received from this program and all the amazing individuals affiliated. We continue to receive love and support from MiraVia every day. Without MiraVia, I would not be as successful as I am today as a single mother. We are truly forever grateful.” -Former College Residence Mom
