What We’re About

Amira’s House was born out of the vision of Rene Lackey, who has a heart for helping young women facing an unplanned pregnancy with the resources and guidance for them to keep their babies and parent with confidence. Rene has personally mentored several girls to help them overcome the shame that can be associated with an unplanned pregnancy, and embrace an exciting new season in their life.

Amira’s House filed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2018, setting the wheels in motion to bring Rene’s bold vision to life. In the past several months, we have established a board of directors, program guidelines, and policies and procedures. Most importantly, we opened the doors  to our first residential home, located in a quiet neighborhood in Keller, Texas.

We are now embarking on our first major fundraising initiative to build or purchase our first residence and hire two full-time house parents. Rene has been receiving mentorship and serving at another maternity home to gain valuable experience that will help ensure Amira’s House provides a safe environment to help young moms overcome the past, embrace the present, and prepare for the future.
