Babies aren’t born with a set of instructions, they note, which is why several people in Lake County are gearing up to establish a home where new moms can learn how to be good moms.
These people have the passion to do it, a role model in Missoula’s Mountain Home Montana, and research that shows it can make a huge difference in children’s lives. What they need now, for what they call “The Nest,” is a house.
Actually, they know the house they want – it’s a seven-bedroom home with a big garden in St. Ignatius that’s currently on the market. What they need is $225,000 to buy it.
To that end, The Nest – still a “work in progress,” according to executive director Jenifer Blumberg – held a well-attended fundraising luncheon at Kwa Taq Nuk Resort in Polson last week.
