When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I was single, scared, and alone. I wondered how I would take care of my child. Would I be a good mom? When I went to the Hope Clinic, I felt hope for the first time. The staff members were very nice. They even prayed with me when I found out I was pregnant. I no longer felt alone. I was able to earn Baby Bucks and buy items for my baby. I would recommend the Hope Clinic to any woman who is pregnant or is questioning how she will take care of her child.

When I first came to the Hope Clinic, I was 19 and had no idea how I was going to be able to take care of a baby. The staff and volunteers were professional, nice, and understanding. They were not judgmental. Their support and programs helped prepare me to be a mom. The Hope Clinic is a great place, and I am thankful for all that they have done for me.
