Let's Transform the Josephine Bed & Breakfast into the SONshine Home for teen moms.

Welcome to Love & SONshine

We provide a safe haven in Billings for pregnant teens & young moms in need

We seek to make a difference in as many young lives as possible, to a leave a lasting legacy, and to break the cycle of poverty by giving young mothers necessary skills to be empowered to aspire and achieve more.

The Need is Staggering

Only 19 out of 1300 shelter beds are for pregnant/parenting youth.

4887 at-risk or homeless pregnant/parenting youth across Montana.

20% of homeless young women will become pregnant.

50% of pregnant/parenting teens graduate from highschool.

The Why Behind Love and SONshine

The stats we list are a sobering reminder that we have much work to do to make sure our youngest lives have the best start possible.

Safe housing is paramount in breaking the cycle of poverty.
Offering a loving and nurturing environment, while teaching basic life skills will offer these young mom’s refuge, dignity and hope.
Being surrounded by the love of a family, we can model a new perspective on a healthy home while also sharing the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Self sufficiency will empower moms and give them confidence to succeed.

19:26 Circle of Givers

Believing God
for the Impossible

The Matthew 19:26 Circle of Givers is a group of influencers who step up and live out the words found in James 1:27 – to look after the orphans in their time of distress; in other words, taking care of mamas and babies, making an impact – two heartbeats at a time.

Be a part of those who give $19 a month to provide for our most vulnerable; homeless pregnant teens, teen mothers, and their babies.

What does $19 a month do? It buys a can of formula and a package of diapers. It provides gas to get to and from doctor appointments. And together, it provides the operational costs for the SONshine Home.

Together We Can!

Project Details

The SONshine Home will provide safe housing for up to 5 teenage mothers and their babies.
The kitchen and dining rooms will be expanded to accommodate the needs of the home and offer family style meals.
The exterior of the home will have new siding, new windows, a new roof and will be secured with privacy fencing. In addition, it will be fully landscaped with a beautiful garden area, where these young women can find peace and refuge.

The home has been taken down to the studs and will have all new electrical and plumbing.
