Life Centers Stories
Dear Life Centers supporter,
I came into the East Pregnancy Center when I was 16 years old. My lifestyle was not the best. I was in the foster care system at that time, and I went from home to home being pregnant. I experienced post-partum depression and lost my job and apartment. I was homeless.
Last year I went back into Life Centers and found out I was pregnant again. I wanted to have an abortion, but after I saw the ultrasound, I realized I was too far along. I suffered abuse from the father, but I got back on my feet halfway. Life Centers gave me clothes and baby items, and told me if I needed anything to call.
This past Christmas, a fourth grade class at Bethesda Christian School donated a baby bed and gifts to me and my children instead of giving gifts to each other. I really appreciated that.
I called Life Centers again later, wondering how to find God because I knew I was sinful and wondered what would happen if the world were to end. I was invited to church. I've realized when you have a relationship with God, life is so much better. Being around wonderful, good-spirited people who really care has opened doors and motivated me to get my GED.
Being a single mother is a struggle, but it's worth it. I believe God will make a way. The Life Centers people show me more than enough love. They didn't have to accept me, but they did. They're like family to me.
