In a country where the maternal mortality rate is 221 per 100,000 live births and the infant mortality rate is 23.20 per 1,000 live births, Hilary, at the age of 22, founded Glory Reborn, a non-profit organization that provides high-quality maternal and newborn care to the poorest of the poor. It seems unimaginable that someone so young would travel 8,000 miles from the comforts of her home in Texas to the Philippines to live in a suburban slum and take on the task of incorporating an organization. But her passion for serving others and bringing the hope of Jesus to the nations inspires a vision like none other. Ten years and 3,000 babies later, Glory Reborn continues to provide compassionate and holistic care to the marginalized of Cebu. Operating on the financial support of donors alone, this free clinic offers prenatal care, labor and delivery services, postpartum exams, newborn care, and feeding programs. Ultimately, the clinic offers a place to bring little ones safely into the world with compassion and dignity, providing a hope and a future to a nation. When Glory’s Born invites readers to join in on the journey of bringing hope and displaying God’s glory to the nations.
