Thank you for how personal, generous and encouraging you have been! I’m so thankful for the resources at Crossroads, but even more thankful for your caring staff. Your encouragement at a time when it was most needed was so appreciated. I wish I could visit more often but I’m thankful for all the times that I have gone so far. God bless and thank you, again!

I was very scared and nervous but when I arrived at Crossroads I was greeted with warmth and understanding. They offered me a free pregnancy test, and I was given the opportunity to speak with a peer counselor. The moment I saw my baby on the ultrasound screen, I knew that I had to consider what was best for my unborn baby, as well as for myself. Without Crossroads' help I would not be the strong, confident and loving mom that I am today.

My husband and I have learned about all of the help we could receive from our community. Through the Earn While You Learn program I was able to learn how my baby was growing and changing throughout my pregnancy. Each lesson was so informative, and earning “Baby Bucks” to get much needed items for our baby made me feel good about myself. We both felt a sense of accomplishment after participating in the program.

I thought there was no way I could provide for a child and decided that abortion was my only option. A friend suggested that I go to Crossroads for help. At first I was scared they were going to judge me because of my situation, but when I walked through the doors I was accepted with open arms. A few days later, I went back to the pregnancy center to have an ultrasound and, when I saw my baby on that screen, I knew that in spite of my circumstances, abortion just was not an option for me. I knew that I wanted to keep my baby.
