How We Determine Eligibility For Support
Many Mansions is a biblically founded faith-based charity. Our charter was written to ensure the organization never provides funds to situations and scenarios that the word of God teaches will eventually cause pain, prolong hardship and ultimately fail our mission.
For this reason Many Mansions defines a “single mom” as a mother whose children are under the age of 19, lives in one of our supported counties (Somervell, Hood or Johnson county, Texas) and is legally and physically without a spouse or live-in partner.
For the purposes of our ministry, Many Mansions does not define a candidate to be a single mom if she is married, engaged to be wed, or otherwise engaged in a relationship outside that of biblical marriage. Mothers in process of divorce are considered on a case by case scenario, but are generally not a focus of this ministry.
This does not mean that we do not care about the multiple dynamics (we have seen many) that can surround all these circumstances. However, we’ve found our resources can not touch as many lives and that we often fail to match the pace that these gray areas can create for our team.
Many Mansions is also ill-equipped to address alcohol or substance abuse as a direct ministry. We are blessed with excellent “Pivot Partners” who excel in their given field and will gladly introduce you to some of those organizations whose strengths are more focused to specific areas.
Thank you for entrusting us with your story and details. We hope that our charter is a good fit and that we can be a help to you as we’ve been charged. If not, we sincerely hope that you will understand that we must focus our strengths in the areas where we’ve been chartered in the State of Texas to be most effective.
Sincerely,
The Many Mansions Board
