From Aid for Women’s latest e-newsletter:

    TACORRA'S STORY

    ‘My experience with Aid for Women has been amazing! When I first walked through the doors, they accepted me with open arms. I was lost before I knew about Aid for Women. I was four months pregnant and felt that I couldn't continue the pregnancy for many reasons.

    ‘Tessa, my Advocate, was always there for me. She told me to pray that my current situation might change. She checked up on me and my kids every day when I needed someone to talk to. When I texted and called her, she always replied.

    ‘I thought about adoption. This is not what I wanted to do, but I also knew that I couldn’t take care of a baby. I prayed and talked to God every day, and all I could remember is what Tessa told me. Two months later, I was blessed with a better paying job!

    ‘I am now in a better situation. These women never gave up on me, and I really appreciate all of them. With Aid for Women you are never alone, and, yes, I kept my baby. In December, I had a beautiful 7 lbs. 6 oz. baby boy named Vyrie Jones!’
