MOUNT VERNON, Ala. (WKRG) — A Mobile County-based non-profit is scrambling to find a new home after being asked by the Town of Mount Vernon to move out of their location by the end of the year.
Inside a small police precinct is the office of the Ambitiously Him Her King Foundation . The charity began in Mobile in 2018 to help young parents. Hard work, that’s only gotten harder.
“It is emotional. It takes a physical strain on you, it’s stressful,” said secretary Marsha Sewell.
In November of 2023 they moved into this Mount Vernon Town building rent-free after being asked to provide services in north Mobile County. But in June of this year, they received a letter asking the foundation to leave by the end of the year. They say it’s at a time when they say their services and supplies are in even greater demand.
“Since the abortion ban we have had an increase in young parents and over overwhelming, you know, calls from young parents, grandparents, they are, you know, now having to take custody of their grandkids,” said Founding Director Latonya Patterson.
