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

you should never feel alone.
