Pregnancy Assistance

If you are pregnant or are struggling to raise a child, many types of help is available.  Everything from crisis centers and medical care to financial assistance, food programs, support groups and hotlines. There are even infant safe havens where you can take your baby if you find yourself unable to take care of it.

Crisis centers are places you can go if you need immediate help and/or a safe place to stay. This section of our website will help you find crisis centers and shelters in your area.

Financial assistance and other programs are available for women in need and their babies.  For many women, the extra expenses of prenatal care and preparing for the new baby are overwhelming.  We want you to know that help is available and where to find it.

Food is available to keep you and your baby healthy.  These programs include Women Infants and Children, Aid to Families with Dependant Children and many other federal, state and county programs.  Local food banks, churches, and synagogues may also be able to help.

Hotlines are available 24 hours a day to assist you with everything from finding a safe place for you and your baby to crisis counseling.

Medical Care for you and your baby is available, often completely free of charge or on a sliding scale, through state and county health agencies, health care providers who receive government funding, and a larger number of organizations and facilities that care about women and children.

Shelters are available to keep you and your baby safe.  These  organizations are run by people who care about you and your baby.

Support Groups are available to help you whether you need information, advice or just a shoulder to lean on.

Infant safe havens were created to help you and your baby. They are places where, if you are in crisis or find yourself unable to take care of your baby, that you may take the baby and know that the baby will be safe.
