Bringing the Mission Trip to your Home: An Introduction to Safe Families w/ Natalie Blackford
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
In this episode, Allie and Cassandra welcome back Natalie Blackford to discuss Safe Families, a beautiful Christian program where you can volunteer to open your home to children in need of a temporary place to stay ranging anywhere from one day to three months. Natalie shares her family's joyous experience welcoming vulnerable children into their home and the impact it's had on herself, her husband, and her daughter. A very different type of program from foster care, Safe Families is all about living out the Gospel through loving God and others through serving the most vulnerable.

About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
