What They're Saying...
 Last week I gave the girls a survey to evaluate what kind of impact we are having on them at our Teen Moms meetings. Here are a few of the responses I got to the question, "How has coming to Teen Parents helped you in your life as a young mom?"
"Teen Parents gives me a break and gets me out of the house. I look forward to it every week!"
"Coming to Teen Parents helps me with information I might not have thought of or other ways to look at things."
"It has made me stronger to know that even though I push everyone out and away from my life i have people that are pushing back because they dont want to let me go."
"Ya'll taught me that I did the right thing by giving my baby life!"
"Teen Parents taught me that I can do whatever I put my mind and heart to and not to let anyone tell me I can't do something!"
"They keep me motivated to do what is best and not ever give up!"

As part of an incentive program, teen moms can earn diapers for attending our weekly meetings. WIth the number of moms enrolled in our program growing quickly, we are in great need of unopened packages of diapers. Sizes needed range from NB through 6. Diapers may be dropped of at our ministry center located at 2621 34th St. Please call Renee Morales (535-5486) to schedule a drop off time as office hours
