Sara is 18 not married and expecting her baby boy in September. She is unable to obtain a job and does not have a car. She has no income and very little money to buy things for the baby.I have been helping her and put her in contact with Catholic Charities and Metropolitan Ministries. She still needs a lot of help. She is in need of support, prayers, and assistance with baby boy items-clothing necessites. She still would like a changing table.
please email me at ____@____.com for more details. Thanks
God Bless!
Hi ladies , thanks for all of the advice, help, support and offers. Sara is very happy and thankful. She appreciates everyone wanting to help her. She recently moved to Town and Country and is taking courses to obtain her high school diploma. She is going to be nesting soon due in mid Sept
There is an organization off of Busch called a Woman's Place. They help with almost everything. I would highly recommend going to speak with them!
Try this organization. They help out mothers just like your friend.

Every Day Blessings is a great organization that can help her.
I know what I am about to say is probably going to be the toughest thing for her to do but if she did not graduate from high school to tell her to stick it out, even if it means that it will take her another year. Then go to college. I know this is not helping her right now but there is help for her. If she has not gone to welfare yet she needs to. Tell her to get on WIC if she is not on it yet. Also as soon as the baby is born to apply for child support. Then go to college, do not make any excuses as to why she cannot go. There is no excuse. She will get financial aid because she is a single mother. After she gets that degree she will not regret it. I am a single mother of two children. I have not been getting child support more often then I have. I had my first child when I was 25 years old. I was with the father at the time and I put off going to college for him. I regretted that til this day. I am 37 years old now and I am in college right now. I am doing online courses and I am doing it part time. There are times when I feel like that I am not going to get a diploma until after my children graduate from college themselves. My children are 12 and 10. Just stay in school, that will be the one thing you wont regret. I wish I could help her now but since my kids are older I dont have anything for a baby.
Hi C.,
I am a doula in the Tampa Bay area. I understand right where your friend is at, and I will donate my doula services to her. We all need a little extra support in this crazy world we live in sometimes. If she is interested please have her call me. My name is J. I can be reached at ###-###-#### or she email me at ____@____.com ...............J.
I have a friend that has recently started a non-profit just for this! Here is the addy, http://weecarecommunityoutreach.faithweb.com/
I sure hope she can help! Also, I belong to freecycle and it's awesome! The addy for that is http://www.freecycle.org just choose your location and start posting. They have one rule though, you have to offer something before you can request, so maybe she has something just collecting dust that she can offer and then she can start requesting items. I personally would group all things she needs in one post. I'll also look around and see if I have anything, but I've mostly freecycled all the boys stuff I had! Good luck to her!
I have some bottles that I can donate...Also have her check out http://www.pregctr.net/. This is a pregnancy center that offers so many resources. They have a program to take classes and you earn points to get items from their "store". They are very helpful.
Please let me know where I can drop off items.

i have alot of clothes and stuff from my sons from preemie to about 3 months and a cradle if your intrested just let me know ....
Try 'A Woman's Place', it is on Gunn Highway at Dale Mabry. Phone ###-###-####. They offer counseling as well as help with diapers, etc.
tell her to call me at ###-###-####. i can help her for sure with labor support and put her together with a charity that might be able to help with other items she needs.
freecycle.org is an organization of people who give away items daily, baby items included. I am part of it. The people are great, we just give each other whatever we have that someone else may need, and we may not be using. It's listed under a yahoo group.
Hello. I have some extra unopened formula if yu want it. I think that the Kimberly Home which is in Clearwater is a great place to get help. They specifically help young unmarried woman who choose to have their babies. Good luck and God bless...D. ____@____.com
