Auntie Angie's House is dedicated to addressing the maternal health crisis by providing safe housing, essential resources, and empowering support to pregnant women and new mothers in need. While the crisis affects all mothers, we strive to raise awareness about its disproportionate impact on Black mothers and work toward creating healthier outcomes for all families.
We Have A New Location!
Our new four-unit location holds incredible potential to become a safe and welcoming haven for the women and children we serve. While the property is already providing shelter to residents, some key updates and renovations are needed to make it truly shine. With upgrades to the kitchen, living spaces, and shared areas, we can create a warm and modern environment that fosters community and support. These improvements will ensure the property not only meets the current needs of our residents but also serves as a beacon of hope for many more families in the future. Together, we can make this vision a reality!
Angela Stanton-King, the founder of Auntie Angie's House and president of the American King Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, understands firsthand the blend of desperation and hope that can come with pregnancy.
​
Angela's story is one of resilience and redemption. Known globally for enduring incarceration while pregnant, she made the courageous choice to choose life, giving birth to her child under unimaginable circumstances—chained to a bed with a sheriff standing guard. After years of service to her community and mentorship from her godmother, Evangelist Alveda King, the niece of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Angela’s perseverance led to a pivotal moment when President Donald J. Trump granted her a full unconditional pardon. Inspired by her journey, he enacted a law making it illegal to shackle incarcerated women during childbirth.
​
Angela’s personal experience fuels her mission to serve women who feel chained by their circumstances—whether by poverty, lack of education, or the weight of societal pressures suggesting abortion as their only option. Her unwavering commitment to life has earned her the honor of being called the godmother to 68 babies, whose lives she helped save by providing hope, resources, and support to their mothers.
Welcome to Auntie Angie’s House—a place of safety, support, and second chances!
