A kiss today. A lifetime of possibilities.
Caring For Two (CFT) is Santa Maria’s home- and community-based program for pregnant women and moms with young children. We help build safe, stable, nurturing bonds, support healthy pregnancy and postpartum, and promote early brain development, so little ones can reach their full potential.

Grateful to our partners: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas for selecting CFT for a grant, special thanks to Episcopal Health Foundation, Texas Mutual Insurance Company, WellPoint, and Houston Methodist. Together, we’re expanding our reach and creating impact across generations.

New beginnings at Bonita House
Since consolidating our operations, Santa Maria’s Bonita House has been filled with energy, connection, and growth. Our staff and participants have embraced this transition with open hearts and inspiring resilience.

As Cynthia, one of our dedicated Recovery Coaches shared:

“The transition to Bonita House has been a truly exciting experience. I’ve chosen to direct my energy toward embracing the new rather than resisting the old. This change has been an opportunity for growth—building on strengths, reflecting, and welcoming what’s next. My most memorable highlight was our emotional welcome of the participants upon their arrival at Bonita House.” 💜

We are so proud of our team for their compassion, strength, and commitment to our mission. Together, we continue to build spaces of healing, hope, and transformation.

October is 💜

At Santa Maria, we stand with survivors and honor the strength of women and families rebuilding their lives free from violence.

This month -and every month- we raise our voices to honor victims and survivors and to recognize the advocates, partners, and community members working alongside us to break the cycle of abuse and create paths toward safety, healing, and hope.

🌟 Honoring Tommy Austin 🌟

Today we celebrate Tommy Austin, who retired from Santa Maria after decades of dedicated service and who now continues his impact as a valued member of our Advisory Council!

Tommy joined Santa Maria in January 1999 as Director of Family Services, later serving as a Court Liaison, where he walked alongside families navigating the court system, helping parents reunite with their children and rebuild their lives.
A U.S. Army Veteran and Co-Founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Tommy has devoted his life to service, compassion, and community.

He shares:
“Children are our greatest asset. They are the ones who will one day care for us and lead our communities. When we invest in them, by guiding, supporting, and empowering them, we’re not only shaping their future, but the future of our nation. Helping families navigate the court system at Santa Maria has been a true privilege, because every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, strong, and ready to stand up for what’s right.”

Tommy, thank you for your many years of leadership, kindness, and heart. We are so proud of your service and honored to have you continue as part of the Santa Maria family

Here’s one of the youngest little ones we’ve had the privilege to serve. 💕 Some babies, and their brave moms, come to Santa Maria as newborns through our restorative justice, alternative-to-incarceration program. Here, they’re embraced by Caring For Two (CFT), where an integrated team surrounds each family with parenting education and coaching, health care navigation and care coordination, peer support, counseling and trauma-informed care, and connections to treatment, including Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when needed through our onsite I-CARE Clinic.

The result: safer beginnings, stronger bonds, and real second chances—healing that transforms generations. We’re proud of the outcomes and deeply grateful to our partners:
Blue Cross Blue Shield Episcopal Health Foundation Wellpoint Houston Methodist Texas Mutual Insurance Company for supporting CFT and expanding our reach.
