A call for help with baby items
 The GOH has a variety of support
services for single mothers and mothers-to-be. These include counseling, social
work services and temporary shelters. The shelters are a key service
for young women, who do not have other
accommodation. They provide a safe, supportive environment for unwed
mothers to plan for their own future and that of their child.
¡@
Currently, we need items to help
out at the shelters, or for new mothers leaving the shelters. If you
have any baby items to spare, we would love to hear from you! We can
accept used items in good, clean condition. Please see our "wish list" below, or contact
"robyn (at) goh.org.tw" if you have any other things, which you think
might be useful:
