The Helper’s of God’s Precious Infants New Jersey is a non-profit organization devoted to building a culture of life and family in New Jersey. This labor of love is the creation of Teri LaBrosse, Mary Anne Barlow and Claire Howson, three women and mothers themselves who come to the aid of pregnant women in need who believe their only option is abortion. Two of the three partners live in Moorestown where they work tirelessly to aid struggling women and couples as they come through tough times and get to a place where they can support themselves. Their clients are from all over the area from Camden to Trenton.
The Helpers organize their time into driving those in need to doctor’s appointments, job searches and hospital visits. They also spend time finding rehabilitation opportunities for women struggling with addiction and offer relocation services for those who suffer abusive situations. Many times those they help need assistance getting social services to which they are entitled and the Helpers will set a plan for them.
The work is not only to better the situation for mothers and babies, but also for the fathers. If there is a baby’s father who needs help with counseling or finding a job, the Helpers will do all they can to aid him as well. They believe that if a father is willing to step up to his responsibilities he should be encouraged to do so. They have also been known to help the grandmothers of these babies.
Since the three women began working together over a year ago, with their incorporation of the non-profit in October, over 25 babies have been born, including twins. Triplets are on the horizon. Anyone interested can become a volunteer Helper and donations of goods and finances are always appreciated.
