Remember, the nature of this relationship is on your terms. You’re welcome to meet her at a favorite coffee shop, fast food restaurant, a local park — wherever you feel most comfortable. The method and how often you’d like to connect is entirely up to you.
Within 24 hours of contacting us, we will connect you with a trained volunteer who will provide you with ongoing 1-on-1 support. You’ll receive a short bio of your volunteer before you meet. From there, YOU define the relationship according to your needs.
The first step is simply to give us a call or send us a text message. This will allow you to share how we can best support you while sharing as little or as much or your story as you feel comfortable.

The call will likely last between 10-15 minutes. During this time, we will answer all of your questions, and can even complete your intake forms if you’d like. If you’re not interested, we can still point you to community resources.

Sometimes it’s a bit of risk to meet someone new….we understand. Once you are paired with a volunteer, you will receive a bio and a picture even before you meet. Our volunteers have a heart for those who are pregnant and just want to help in whatever way you’re comfortable.
