Over 20 years ago, Carol Beresford was approached by a young woman who was pregnant, alone, and scared. It was clear she needed so much more than just a meal. Following that encounter, Carol dreamed of what “so much more” could be. She and her husband, Pastor Paul, sat together and scribbled ideas on a napkin. With the help of their community, Hannah’s Home was established in Mentor, Ohio in 2001 and currently serves up to 23 residents. Carol was soon called to open another home but in South Florida. A three-acre property was acquired and renovations began. Hannah’s Home of South Florida opened its doors with room to serve four residents. Since then, we have expanded our property to house eight residents. We have plans to continue our growth to serve 21 mothers and their babies.
