Some women step into motherhood in ways they never expected.
Blanca and Xiomara are two grandmothers in our program who are now raising their grandsons, and it is striking how similar their stories are. Both sets of boys have experienced deep trauma. And in response, Blanca and Xiomara have stepped in with resilience, strength, and a wholehearted willingness to take on the role of mother.
In the face of difficult circumstances, they show up each day, creating stability, protection, and a sense of home. They carry a lot, providing, nurturing, and continuing forward even through their own challenges. And still, their homes are marked by patience, love, and consistency.
At Project RED, we are deeply grateful for women like Blanca and Xiomara. Their care reflects a kind of love that holds families together and creates space for something new.
Thank you for being part of this hope. ❤️
