“I was three days late on my period when I first started to feel like something wasn’t right. When I was ten days late on my period, my cousin and I started researching and we found Zoi on Google. I called and scheduled an appointment to take a pregnancy test. Nurse Amy explained all my options and when the pregnancy test came back positive, she was really comforting. She asked if I wanted to call my boyfriend to come back with me. So, we called him back to the room and he was jumping up and down in excitement about being a dad.

I heard a lot that 'I can’t be a good mom, I’m not ready for this, I’m too young'. Hearing what my boyfriend said made me think about how I am going to be a good mom and I don’t want to miss out on my child’s life.

The parenting program here at Zoi really helped me, especially after having my baby with postpartum feelings and frustrations. So the classes helped me because my boyfriend works and during the day it’s just me and my baby. I feel like he’s my motivation to keep going in life, do good in school, and graduate. Because without him, I wasn’t going to graduate. I used to ditch all the time and when I found out I was pregnant, I went every day. My baby is my motivation to keep going in life and pushing through all my problems. My family loves and adores him so much. My boyfriend and his side of the family adore him. Everybody loves to go shopping for him and buy him everything in the world. I would encourage other girls to come here to Zoi because they’re very comforting and gave me good advice. They helped me with my pregnancy and the parenting classes. I had someone to talk to and check up on me and my baby. Thank you, Zoi for playing a big part in my pregnancy and helping me become the mom I am today. Thank you for always being here when I needed you guys.”
