Gianna's Place Gainesville, Inc.

Gainesville, Florida is home to the University of Florida, among other educational institutions.  The student population exeeds 55,000, over half of them women.  Most come from around the state and nation.  There are currently few resources for young women in the area who face an unplanned pregnancy during their college years and no dedicated maternity home they can access in the Greater Gainesville area.

The goal of Gianna's Place is to establish a nurturing, structured, Christian community-based maternity residence located in the Gainesville, FL area for single student women over the age of 18 with an unplanned pregnancy to allow continued career and educational development. The residence will be a community/family style home focused on developing the individual to reach their potential in life skills and family values. 

Our Mission is to promote the sanctity of life by providing a peer supportive Christian based maternity residence for single mothers 18 years or older who choose life and are enrolled in college or vocational/technical education, to foster family values, life skills and the completion of career and educational goals by utilizing established resources/services in the community to empower each woman to achieve her God given potential, and to educate and witness to the community the importance of life and traditional family values. 

We prayerfully hope that you will see our vision and be moved to make a donation, either one-time or monthly.  With your help, we hope to raise the first year's operating costs of $300,000.
