Established on October 16, 2005, The Mother Teresa Fund provides financial assistance to individuals or couples experiencing limited financial resources while awaiting the birth of their child and/or during the initial period following the birth. The endowment was inspired by Mother Teresa who said, “The best gift we can give to any child is to make that child feel wanted, loved and cared for because a child is the greatest gift of God.” It is administered through the Respect Life Office of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan.
