Save One Life, Transform Another
Many young women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy don’t have a safe place to live. Alone and overwhelmed by the future, they may believe abortion is their only option. At 29:Eleven Maternity Home, we empower expectant mothers through safe housing, healthcare, counselling and life skills training–so they can feel confident as they navigate towards parenthood or creating an adoption plan.
Our mission is to save the life of the unborn child while transforming
the life of the mother.
With hearts for service, Mike and Beckie Pérez had been praying for an opportunity to make an impact in San Diego’s East County where they both grew up. In 2013, they were given inspiration to stand in the gap for an underserved and vulnerable population–women in unplanned pregnancies. The 29:Eleven Maternity Home was created under Imago Dei Ministries in 2014 and opened its doors in the Spring of 2017.
