B.A.B.E.S., Inc. Respite & Counseling Services aligns itself with organizations which serve the same demographic, uphold the same service and compassion philosophies and serve groups whose participants are in dire straits. B.A.B.E.S., Inc is proud of and grateful for the relationship and support provided by Lutheran Social Services. The fine staff of LSS make it possible for B.A.B.E.S., Inc. to provide professional and no-cost, mental health triage to its participants.

The organization is thinking outside of the box again.

In an effort to continue to protect children from potentially harmful circumstances, the organization is teaming up with the Appleton Police Department and developing some guidelines by which to provide protection to children whose parents may be “unavailable” to care for them because of accident or other unforeseen circumstances. The organization will serve as a temporary place of safety for children, until adequate and appropriate placement of the child(ren) can be secured. The children referred to the program will not be involved in child neglect or child abuse investigations. The organization is hoping to continue to secure funds to continue to provide assistance to the young families of the Fox Valley. B.A.B.E.S., Inc Respite & Counseling Services makes a difference, one day, one parent and one child at a time. It is an invaluable component in the community’s continuum of care.

A lilting laughter has been hushed, but the volumes spoken by her deeds will never be silenced!
A Friend...

Mrs. Ethel D. Keller - Mother Theresa's unofficial American attaché', inquired about the program of B.A.B.E.S., and found one of her many Fox Valley Calcutta's, in which to invest her time, energy and treasure; through the support of the vision and various program components of B.A.B.E.S., Inc, Respite & Counseling Services.  Mrs. Ethel D. Keller became a B.A.B.E.S. founding Angel Contributor in 2003. 

B.A.B.E.S. families, volunteers, staff and directors will always be grateful for Ethel's recognition and appreciation of our endeavors, her understanding that solutions don't have to be complicated, just executed, and her willingness to put her resources where our hearts were -- with B.A.B.E.S.!  Her smile, her stories and her wit will be greatly missed.  I'm certainly glad I had the opportunity to meet such a strong and principled woman: her legacy of help remains an inspiration to all that were privileged enough to have made her acquaintance.
