Redeeming Life Maternity Home provides housing and program services for single moms and babies around Sanford, Florida, and instills the knowledge that faith, family, and education are the key to living a happy, healthy, hope filled life. With the mothers being instructed in the faith, they bring their babies to the waters of Holy Baptism. Pastor DeWitt and wife, Sheryl, empower, with God’s mercy, the women to live independently: financially, physically, and spiritually. This home came from the DeWitt’s dream of being able to provide a place where women could turn and find the love, support, and hope they needed.
