Why don't we see more pictures of the moms and children?
Our moms and children are precious to us. We want to do all that we can do to maintain the privacy of the members of AMHH.

Due to our limited funding, we have chosen not to purchase a building sign at this time. We feel our funding should be used to better serve our families by being used for our programs. We would welcome a donation of a sign for the outside of the building.
