Clara

McBride Hale (April 1, 1905 –

December 18, 1992), also known as Mother Hale, was the Hale House

Center, a home for unwanted children and children who were born

addicted to drugs. Clara McBride was born April 1, 1905 in Elizabeth City, North

Carolina and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Clara

married shortly after high school and moved to New York City where she studied

business administration, cleaned, and worked as a domestic. She was 27 when her

husband died.[1] She had three children, Nathan, Lorraine and

adopted son Kenneth. In 1938, her husband died from cancer, and Hale struggled

to support her children through the Great Depression. Her rough life made it hard to financially

support and care for her three children, consequently she had to find a job.

Hale cleaned houses and continued her job as a janitor, laboring day and night

to make ends meet. Eventually she retired from these jobs to spend more time

with her children. She stayed home with her children and in order to be as big

a part of their lives as possible, Hale opened her own home daycare, initially

keeping the children while their parents worked during the day. The children

that she cared for found her home to be such a caring and loving environment

they did not want to go home at the end of the day, most began to stay

full-time only seeing their mothers on the weekends.[2] She used her home as a day care for other struggling

parents which later led her to become a foster parent. In the 1940s, she provided short-term and

long-term care for community children in her home. She also found permanent

homes for homeless children and

taught parents essential parenting skills. Hale became a foster mother and got

a license and took in 7-8 children at a time. By 1947-1968, she had taken care

of 40 foster children.
