Clara McBride Hale was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Known lovingly as “Mother Hale,” she later founded Hale House in Harlem, New York—a safe haven for infants born to drug-addicted mothers. Her compassionate work provided critical care and stability to hundreds of children during the height of the drug crisis, making her a national symbol of maternal strength and community healing.
