The Daily Caller also spoke with From Ordinary to Extraordinary (FOTE) founder Dr. Antoria Gillon. FOTE helps pregnant mothers aged 18-24 who are often fleeing domestic violence or otherwise don’t have a steady living situation give birth in safety and security. The organization provides everything a mother and baby need to not only get through those first months of life, but also to achieve financial stability in the future.

Gillon told The Daily Caller that FOTE does not receive funding through grants, with most of its financial support coming from community donations. She described her programs as “mission work” for these moms who would otherwise not have the support they need to choose life.

FOTE runs a work-life skills program that teaches expecting and new mothers job training, so that when they leave, they can work in a field that offers a steady income. These mothers enter the beauty and medical industries, with many choosing to become medical assistants, dental assistants, pharmacy technicians, and MRI technicians.
