Q. Who is your matched Friend, and how did your relationship with your Friend grow?  What would you like to share about her?

A. We went to the park and we went to the gardens in Ft.Collins. 

Q.  How has having Rhonda during this time helped you?  Do you plan on staying friends with her?

A. It helped me feel more emotionally stable and moms always need adult friends to socialize with and need to get out to not feel so isolated from mostly being home with kids. Yes.

Q. Have you attended any of A Friend for You’s client/volunteer group events?  What do you think about them?

A. I love AFFY group events and my girls and I really enjoy them. 

Q. Why are you sharing your experience?

A. I’m hoping someone else out there will benefit from AFFY, and get the support and listening ears to help their pregnancy go better. 

Q. What do you want to say to someone who is pregnant and feeling like she could use some extra support?  

A. Just know you’re not alone, and we’re not meant to go through pregnancy by ourselves were supposed to help and support each other on the journey so we as mothers can be healthy and have healthy kids.
