THE SOLOMON PROJECT
VOLUNTEER OR NOMINATE SOMEONE
“The Wisdom to preserve life and the right to enhance living”
The Solomon Project is a non-profit ministry ran by Veronica Solomon with Casa Vilora Interiors
Our mission is to provide assistance to young pregnant moms or new first time moms, who made the decision to bring their babies into the world despite any challenges that they may have, or may be facing.
We will provide furnishings and design services for their babies’ nurseries and/or for a space where they will nurse and nurture their babies.
The Solomon Project was named after King Solomon from the Bible story found in 1 Kings 3:16-28
16Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17One of them said, “Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 18The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.
19“During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him. 20So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne.”
22The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.”
But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.
23The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’ ”
24Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king. 25He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
26The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!”
But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”
27Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”
28When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.
The Solomon Project will seek donations of cash and mildly used furniture and baby items from the Katy community to supply the needs of these precious young moms and their babies
We will work closely with organizations such as Pregnancy Help Centers to identify mothers who qualify for assistance.
Our goal is to complete at least one nursery project per quarter, but hopefully will be able to do much more
We believe that helping young moms create a beautiful, safe and comfortable space to bring their babies home to will be one less thing that have to worry about, as they seek to get their lives on track and be the best they can be for their children
