Mary's Home Maryland Inc.

What Mary's Home Maryland Inc. does

Mary's Home Maryland Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 83-3941989, founded in 2008 by Michael and Mary Therese Pfau in Maryland. The organization operates two residential maternity homes — Hope House and Abundant Life House — that provide free, structured housing for expectant mothers in crisis, together with mentoring, life-skills training, social service coordination, and pre- and post-birth support in a community living environment aligned with Catholic values. All residents are welcomed regardless of background, and the program is offered at no cost to clients.

The organization has no underlying technology platform; its core offering is in-person residential care delivered by a small named staff including Executive Director Sonia Mejia, Client Services/Case Manager Josephine Boima, and Resident Assistant Theresa Saylor. Operations are sustained by a volunteer-driven model covering transportation, childcare, financial mentoring, prayer teams, and event support, with referrals sourced primarily through a long-standing partnership with the Columbia Pregnancy Center and word-of-mouth within Catholic and pregnancy-resource networks.

Mary's Home generates no commercial revenue. Its financial base consists of tax-deductible charitable donations (one-time, monthly, and stock), in-kind contributions of household and baby supplies, and proceeds from an annual Gala fundraiser. The mailing address is in Ellicott City, MD; actual maternity home addresses are undisclosed for resident privacy. The organization operates exclusively within Maryland.
