Last week, I shared Ezra Lunel's journey to becoming Leo's father.

 

Leo is now two years old, and is extremely happy, healthy, and sociable. Andrea Lunel was recently honored as our client mother of the year, and Ezra was there to support her every step of the way. They still keep in contact with the friends they made during classes, and Leo is able to visit his friends at least once a week. Ezra is confident Leo's friends will retain that bond throughout their lives. The Lunels now feel a duty to pay forward all of the blessings they received at MOMS Orange County. They donate Leo's outgrown clothes and toys, help other new parents access education and resources, and try their hardest to return the favor to the community.  

 

Ezra and Leo love exploring the outdoors, reading at the library, swimming, playing music and creating art. These early experiences are stimulating Leo's brain development, heightening his curiosity for life, and nurturing his social and emotional development - all of which will prepare him for success in school and life.  

If you have been inspired by Ezra like I have, I hope you will consider making a tax-deductible gift to MOMS Orange County in honor of Father's Day. Your gift will help give more fathers like Ezra the opportunity to learn how they can support their wives during pregnancy and prepare for a lifelong role as a father.  

 

If you have already given - THANK YOU!

 

Happy Father's Day!
