Had a great morning meeting with Kayla from City Year Milwaukee. We appreciate the care Kayla has shown our young people as she has served in Milwaukee schools over the past two years. We talked about the work Franciscan Peacemakers does and where Kayla is headed next. Kayla jumped right in to help in the Hospitality Center and asked about future volunteer opportunities. 💜 We are in a very hectic moment at the Peacemakers so we especially appreciated the chance to slow down and build connections.

In the past ~40 days, Franciscan Peacemakers has connected with dozens of unique women through our outreach efforts. Each one a life, a story, a person deserving of dignity and care. They've ranged in age from 18 to 69. Many remain unnamed, out of deep respect for the pace at which trust grows.

Our approach is rooted in compassion, we meet women where they are and on their own terms. We don’t demand details nor histories. We offer hope and presence. But when someone disappears, when we don’t know their full name, we’re left only with heartbreak and uncertainty.

We’ve recently begun asking women to share their names and birthdays if they feel safe doing so. It’s a small step, but a profound one. To the 89 women who felt comfortable sharing their names and the many more who respectfully declined, we honor your strength, your story, and your survival.

Come visit us at The Sugar Maple in Bay View for their Mother’s Day party - we’ll be here until 8pm tonight. 🌺💜🌸💗
