Right here in Carmel, The O’Connor House is non-profit organization put in place to protect pregnant, single women.  The many volunteers are proud of the 37 newborn babies and mothers that have been supported since the home opened.  Currently there are five women, three toddlers, and three babies that are supported in their current home.  These women are on their own with no where else to turn for help for themselves or their other children.  The demand for help is much larger than the home where they live.  Many women are on a list waiting for the opportunity during their time of need.  This charitable organization has been pushed to expand their capability to help more women and as a direct result, a larger facility is necessary.  Driven to help more, the board of directors is collaborating on a financial grant that would provide them with substantial resources for real estate.  If awarded, the grant will be available for purchasing, building, or expanding a home to support up to twice the women.  A specific property must be identified in the proposal.  The board is considering vacant land, existing homes, and multifamily homes.  Their preference is the property in close proximity to their volunteer base and convenient for public transportation, since most of these women are employed.  If you own or know of a property that may have potential for The O’Connor House, please contact me so that we review our specifics of the real estate to see if there is a match.    

As with many non-profit organizations, the operating capital to run the home is a constant effort as it is completely funded by gifts of charity.  Your tax deductible donation to help support operating costs may be provided at www.theoconnorhouse.org.
