In April 2023, a young woman walked through our doors. She was pregnant, working toward her college degree, and figuring out what came next. She wasn't sure what to expect from us — but she kept showing up.
Over the next year and a half, we got to walk alongside her through pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood, providing the support and resources she needed each step of the way. In 2024, her baby girl was born. And this past August, she walked across that graduation stage.
She's been there. And if you're in the thick of it right now, here's what she wants you to know:
💛 "I used to feel guilty accepting help — I thought people only did it out of pity. But I learned that's not true. They're helping because they want to. You just have to get over that first hump."
💛 "Use your resources. They're there for a reason."
💛 "Put yourself out there. The only way I've found friends and support as a parent is by being honest about where I'm at and seeking out people in similar situations."
💛 "Navigating school and being a new mom won't be easy, but you can do it!"
She came to us in an unexpected moment, and she left rooted, resilient, and thriving — as a mom and as a graduate.
Stories like hers are exactly why we do what we do.
If you're facing an unexpected moment of your own, you don't have to face it alone. We're here — with open arms, real resources, and zero judgment.
