Q: Single Mothers to Be

When I found out I was pregnant my daughter's father threw me on the street. It was then I made some real life changes...

I have been through a lot of scary things in my life including being a “street child” homeless in shelters for over 2 years, but being pregnant and knowing I was going to be alone was by far the worst. The feelings are indescribable. Through the pregnancy I had little to no support. Still, in the 3 years since my daughter’s birth I have learned to use a computer, started college and maintained a 3.75gpa (not bad for someone that barely passed high school), taught myself html and built a website, made quality friends that are also single mothers, landed a good job with full benefits, gotten off welfare and state assistance completely… the list goes on. If I can do it, anyone can.

Not long ago a friend of mine became pregnant and was dealing with a lot of the same emotional issues I was. Not only was I able to talk her through those but I was also able to help her contact the proper agencies to make sure she had health coverage, housing, etc. Because she, as i, was low income. She had the baby 2 months ago and is doing very well...

What I am trying to get to is if you find yourself in this situation you are not alone. I have created a website that is geared toward single parents. When you visit it sort of looks like we just goof off a lot, but if you look through some of the forums you will see when anyone of our members has an issue, all jump in with ideas. I am very proud of my members, and the length they go to support one another.

If you find yourself alone, and you need a friend, please visit http://missjenniferlee.Org

you should never feel alone.
