True Story

Tiffany and her baby

"

Before I had Emma, I worked three part-time jobs. As a new mom, I am shocked to find out how much babies cost. I am so glad that I came to Family Service because they helped me get a better job by paying for my CNA classes and now I work full-time. My grandma helps me with Emma when I am working, but even with that, I don’t make enough money so I get food help at Family Service and right before Emma was born, they gave me a layette. Thank you!
