🚨🌸 URGENT NEEDS AT THE LILY HOUSE! 🌸🚨

We could really use our community's help right now! 💜

🚽 Our most urgent need is a new upflush toilet pump! Our current pump is failing, and with a house full of moms and children, a working bathroom is an absolute necessity! We're hoping to raise enough funds to replace it as soon as possible.

🧹 We're also running extremely low on household essentials, including:

- cleaning products
- Toilet paper, paper towels & napkins
- New broom and mop
- Laundry detergent & dish soap
- Shampoo, conditioner & hygiene products
- Trash bags, sponges & other cleaning supplies

🛒 We've created an Amazon Wish List to make donating supplies easy!

🔗 Amazon Wish List: https://a.co/003sMiIG

💕 Whether you purchase an item from our wish list, contribute toward the toilet pump, or simply share this post, every little bit helps!

Thank you for always showing up for our moms and children. It truly takes a village! 🌸

🌸✂️ SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD, AND SHE DID! 💜

We are so incredibly proud of Lacey for passing her state cosmetology licensing exams and officially becoming a LICENSED COSMETOLOGIST! 🎓✂️💜

In November 2024, Lacey walked through the doors of the Lily House, beginning a journey that would change her life in so many ways. Since then, she has worked incredibly hard to build a life rooted in recovery, stability, and purpose.

💕 She reunified with her daughter and has gone above and beyond to provide her with stability, education, opportunities, and a loving home.

💕 She maintained full-time employment while balancing motherhood, recovery, and her personal goals.

💕 She stepped into a leadership role as our Lily House Liaison (House Manager), a position she has maintained for the past year, supporting residents and helping manage the daily responsibilities of the home.

💕 She graduated from Family Recovery Court in June 2026!

💕 She completed 10 months of intense cosmetology training at the Aveda Institute, all while working, parenting, and maintaining her recovery.

💕 She graduated from cosmetology school in September 2026!

And now, her journey is just getting started! 🌸

Lacey is ready to begin her professional career as a licensed cosmetologist while working toward building her own business, where she hopes to give back by providing beauty services to others in the recovery community.

This is what recovery can look like. 💜

Not just getting sober, but rebuilding families, pursuing dreams, discovering purpose, and creating a future filled with possibilities.

Lacey has grown into a remarkable woman, just like so many of the women who have walked through the doors of the Lily House. Watching these women recognize their potential and accomplish things they once thought were out of reach is exactly why we do what we do.

Lacey, we are so incredibly proud of you! You have earned every bit of this! 🌸

✂️ ONE MORE THING! If you know of a salon or business looking to hire a newly licensed cosmetologist, please reach out! Lacey is excited to get started in her new career while building her own business. Let's help her take that next step!

What an incredible morning spent with a couple of our Tiny Blossoms at Lohr’s Orchard! 🌸🍎

The fresh autumn air, the laughter of little ones, and the beauty of nature all around made today so special! 🍁✨

Watching their excitement as they explored, picked apples, pumpkins and discovered the simple joys of the outdoors filled my heart with gratitude. 🌿💛 🎃

Moments like these remind us of the magic in every season and the beauty of slowing down to connect with nature and with each other. ✨💕

Thank you to HJC Early Learning Center for this memorable field trip! 🙌🏻💕

What does the first year of recovery look like for a single mom?

Recovery is so much more than stopping the use of drugs or alcohol.

For many of the moms we serve, the first year means rebuilding an entire life from scratch while also rebuilding a family.

And it can look like...

Maintain your recovery.
Comply with treatment requirements.
Attend meetings and appointments.
Take accountability for your past and work through the consequences of it.
Learn to be honest, even when it's uncomfortable.
Humble yourself and ask for help when you need it.

Maintain communication with your social worker.
Attend court hearings.
Navigate a child welfare case.
Participate in biweekly court programs.
Comply with probation.
Complete evaluations, 16-week IOP and other programming.
Keep track of paperwork, deadlines and expectations from multiple places at once.

Replace the basic documents you and your children need that may have been lost along the way.
Birth certificates.
Social Security cards.
State IDs.

Find a job or go back to school.
Create a resume.
Apply for jobs.
Interview.
Start paying rent and bills.
Learn to budget and save.

Then work on transportation and independence.

Study for your learner's permit.
Take the permit test or driving test.
Complete driving school.
Or complete a reinstatement packet to get your license back.
Figure out transportation in the meantime.

Reunify with your children.
Adjust to parenting full-time again.
Get your children enrolled in school.
Figure out before and after-school care.
Find childcare for babies and toddlers.
Get everyone where they need to be.
Homework.
Doctors.
Dentists.
Baby needs.
Clothes.
Shoes.
School supplies.
Parenting classes.
Bedtimes and morning routines.

For some women, recovery also means living in a house with other women and children while rebuilding.

Share space.
Follow a routine.
Handle different personalities.
Work through conflict instead of running from it.
Learn boundaries and communication.
Comply with house expectations and case management.

And somewhere in all of that, don't forget self-care.

And here's where the barriers matter.

These aren't just boxes to check. So many of these steps depend on the one before them. A job means income. Income means rent, bills and independence. Childcare makes employment possible. Transportation makes work, treatment, court and appointments possible.

When one piece gets stuck, it can stop the next. And after working so hard to rebuild, this is where hope can start to get lost.

We know many of these challenges aren't unique to recovery. Single moms everywhere face them. But for a mom in early recovery, there can be another barrier: the past she is working so hard to move forward from.

And yes, we understand there are people who think, “They put themselves in this situation.”

We're not asking anyone to erase the past or remove accountability.

Accountability isn't just living with what you did yesterday. It's what you choose to do today.

And these women are choosing differently every day.

But sometimes that same past can prevent them from taking the next step. A criminal record, or even a pending legal matter that has not resulted in a finding of guilt, can affect employment opportunities.

That's what we want to bring awareness to.

These barriers are real. And removing even one can help a mom keep moving forward, continue rebuilding her family and, for many, break a generational cycle.

And one more thing...

We currently have several moms facing these very real barriers who need employment.

So if you're an employer in Harford County looking for someone to join your team, please consider giving one of our moms an opportunity.

Because if you're looking for a badass mom who knows how to work hard, overcome obstacles, show up and keep going when things get difficult, we happen to know a few. ❤️
