We Are Here For You
It can be scary to be pregnant if you don’t have people around you who support you and your child.
Every day, we hear from women in situations that might be like yours:
“I never thought being pregnant would leave me feeling so alone.”
“He will pay for an abortion...but not for a baby.”
“I’m just a college student…how can I raise a child?”
“My parents will kick me out if I have this baby.”
We are here to help, with no judgment...just love for you and the child you are carrying!
