The answer is stay in school, or get additional education, but, most importantly:  HAVE YOUR CHILD LOVE YOUR CHILD PROVIDE FOR YOUR CHILD We will help you. There are numerous other organizations to help you. We can provide information about this help, or you can link to those organizations through our website. But most of all: HAVE YOUR BABY!!

You’ll always be my home. You are so soft, so brave…. And I’m proud to be a woman, No matter my age.
