Our Story

Built on Love.
Built for You.

"She believed in me when I didn't know how to believe in myself. This house is named for her — because every mother deserves that."

— Aysia Epps, Founder

Ceenie's House was created in honor of Ceenie — a grandmother who stepped in when it mattered most. When her granddaughter became a teenage mother, Ceenie offered what so many young mothers never receive: guidance, stability, and someone who truly believed in her. That presence changed everything.

This organization exists because every mother deserves community — especially young mothers who are so often expected to carry emotional, financial, and generational weight alone, without support, without a soft place to land.

Ceenie's House is that place.
