Tariyah's Story
I made an appointment at Mary’s House when I was 7 weeks pregnant, it was my first child, and I wasn’t married - I was in shock. After the appointment at Mary’s House , I felt like “I can do this.” With excitement in my heart, I called the baby’s father, but he wasn’t feeling the same joy I was, and this made me feel like maybe it wasn’t a good idea to be pregnant. I contemplated for 4 weeks about raising a child on my own and the difficulties I would face. I decided God had a plan for my life.
A couple of months passed, and Mary’s House reached out to me again. I needed support and someone who cared – Mary’s House gave that to me. Mary’s House became my safe haven where I got healing of hurts, positive feedback and encouraging words to help me have a healthy and happy pregnancy.
They changed my life so much through continuing to love me, that my relationship with my family was mended. My baby boy was born healthy and happy. For all that Mary’s House did for me, I will be forever grateful.
