The following are real stories from real families who were ministered to by Midland Fair Havens.
Forever Grateful
Tina and her son came to Fair Havens with little self esteem and limited expectations for her future. Coming from a background of generational poverty lacking in the resources of education and healthy support systems, she was willing to leave family and move from Amarillo to pursue long term economic stability. She thrived under the accountability and structure of the program embracing the concept of building a stable home life without chaos and uncertainty.

Midland Fair Havens Children
Midland Fair Havens is committed to 'building families' which means not only equipping our mothers with skills for success but also our children. Here are a few examples of how we serve the needs in these young lives.
- One mom who is completing her difficult dental hygienist degree has a three year old son with challenges in his speech development, physical movements and behavior.
- Self image with a healthy self concept is an important building block to the success of our children. One 8 year old girl entered the Fair Havens program with deplorable oral health. She always kept her chin lowered, avoided eye contact and would not smile.
- Coming from a background of abandonment and familial discrimination, a 10 year girl entered our program with a poor self concept. Her caring mother struggled trying to encourage her and overcome their past. There was frequent conflict at home.
