Happy Mother's Day: Celebrating the Strength and Spirit of Mothers in Our Community

As Mother's Day 2026 arrives, the entire MystiCares family in Washington State takes a moment to honor the remarkable mothers who inspire us every single day. This celebration is for you — the mothers who work alongside us and the mothers whose courage drives us to do better.

Honoring the Mothers on Our Team

The mothers who make up our MystiCares Washington team are nothing short of extraordinary. You provide housing support, family-centered services, and compassionate care to our community's most vulnerable families — all while raising your own. You juggle FCS program responsibilities with school drop-offs, client home visits with homework help, and community outreach with bedtime stories. Your empathy for the families we serve is genuine because you understand, firsthand, the beautiful and demanding reality of motherhood. Thank you for bringing your whole selves to this mission.

To the Brave Mothers We Are Privileged to Serve

At MystiCares, we have the privilege of standing beside mothers during some of the most challenging chapters of their lives. We see the mother who lost her housing but never lost hope for her children. We see the mother navigating complex systems — social services, healthcare, employment — with a determination that could move mountains. We see the mother who arrived in Washington with nothing but a dream of safety and stability for her family. To every one of you: your courage is breathtaking, and your love for your children is the most powerful thing we witness every day.

A Tapestry of Cultures, United by Love

Washington State is home to an incredibly diverse community of mothers, and at MystiCares, we celebrate every thread in this beautiful tapestry. From the Somali mother preserving her heritage in a new land, to the Native American mother carrying forward ancestral wisdom, to the Latina mother building bridges between cultures for her children, to the Pacific Islander mother anchoring her family in tradition and faith — your stories enrich and strengthen us all. We are committed to providing services that honor your culture, your language, and your unique journey.

From the Heart of Our CEO

Leading MystiCares Washington has given me a front-row seat to the incredible resilience of mothers in our community. Every success story we celebrate — a family finding permanent housing, a mother securing employment, a child thriving because their mother refused to give up — reminds me why this work matters so deeply. This Mother's Day, I want every mother connected to MystiCares to know: you are not alone. We are here, and we will continue to fight alongside you for the future your family deserves.

Happy Mother's Day from MystiCares

To every mother in the MystiCares community — may this day bring you the peace, joy, and recognition you deserve. You are the strength and spirit of our community, and we are honored to walk this path with you.

With profound gratitude and warmth,

Giovanne Schachere

CEO, MystiCares Washington
