You Are Not Alone.
Community & Resources Are Closer Than You Think.
Feeling Alone?
You are not the only one going through an overwhelming reality. Each year around 121 million girls just like you have an unplanned pregnancy. That is 120 million girls thinking they are alone, when the truth is they are not. Many might go to the internet just as you have to find support during this time and right now you have come to the right place.
We Want to Hear Your Story
You may be feeling broken and afraid, and not knowing who you can talk to can feel even scarier. All these feelings are valid, and you may feel like no one would want to listen to your concerns, but we are here to tell you that your story deserves to be heard.
At Options for Women, our mission is to serve you and help you regain your confidence. In order to regain your confidence, we have caring staff, eager to welcome you in and hear about your story. We are a non-judgemental, safe place that would love to connect you with resources to equip you and heal you through this unexpected journey.
At Options for Women, we are excited to walk alongside you and cheer you on as you decide to make a life-impacting decision. We are proud of you for looking for options, and for being brave enough to talk to someone about your story.
Connecting You to Community
For further connections to discuss your concerns with, Options for Women has partnered with multiple community resources providing housing, material, and educational assistance who strive to meet your needs. We have connections with both free and affordable counseling services, and have stories from women who have been thrown a baby shower.
We also offer Surrendering the Secret, which is post-abortion peer counseling.
Unsure about Connecting with Others
Although it may be daunting to talk to a counselor about your story, you can find comfort in knowing that other girls have walked in your shoes and chose to involve themselves in the community.
One story of a girl who chose to keep her baby, decided that it was important to remain in touch with her friends, pray daily, work out, and read the Bible. Through her dedication not only to her baby, but for herself by staying active with her community and self-care time, she was able to strengthen her confidence.
As you decide to walk through this journey of unplanned pregnancy, it’s important to take away that you too can walk in confidence and joy.
What Happens if I Keep My Baby?
Now the question is, what happens if you do decide to keep your baby? Maybe you are not sure where you will live, how you will get food, how you are going to finish school, finding daycares, or where you are going to find clothes for your baby and you. At Options for Women, we have that covered for you as well.
Through our Patients Resources Tab on our website, you will be able to find Housing Assistance, Food and Material Assistance, Education, and more ways that you can live a successful life alongside your baby, if you decide to make that decision.
We know how difficult it is to raise a child, and we want you to be as prepared as can be if that route is chosen. We also want to make sure you are provided for as well by taking time to get healthy and whole through counseling, community outings, or even spiritual care through reading Bible plans that are also located on our website.
You Are Stronger than You Think
Lastly, we are so proud of you and for the courage you have to walk through this season. We want you to know that you are not alone, but that through Options for Women, will be able to provide you with the encouragement, love, and protection you need. You are a strong woman, capable of doing bold things, and we hope you know that you are never alone.
