Molly and her mom started an organization called "Mother's Helper." Though not a registered non-profit, up until now it was an effort mostly supported by Molly's Grandma Pearl Conroy, Molly's family and Magnolia neighbors. It is an organization that Molly named, to help mothers with babies who have just arrived in domestic violence shelters in Seattle.
The shelters make contact with a list of what they need ? such as diapers, formula, and clothing. Molly named this cause Mother's Helper because as she maintained, who needs help more than a woman in that tough situation?
Because Molly wanted to so passionately, the family served as foster parents to babies for Catholic Community Services. Molly loved to go pick up a new baby at the hospital or one that was waiting at a caseworkers office. She was thrilled to help them, nurture them and give them wonderful, loving care.
Molly could often be heard saying "Mom, when are we going to get a baby?" and she was filled with joy when word came that a baby was coming home with them...
