Review for GATE Pregnancy Resource Center, Harrisburg, NC, USA
I learned about Gate from a volunteer of Gate's at one of their yard sales. I had gotten divorced and was using credit cards to get by when I first walked into Gate. I knew that my financial situation was getting worse and having a baby was going to cause things to get even worse and I wanted to try to figure out what to do. I walked into Gate not knowing what to expect. I had never needed help before and I felt a little strange about it. The people who run Gate and the volunteers were so helpful to me. They worked with me on my financial situation along with all the other things Gate does. The resources - baby formula, baby clothes, wipes, diapers, etc. have helped me tremendously to make ends meet in times when I was really struggling. I am so glad I walked into Gate and decided to find out what they are all about. Now I am about to age out as my son will be 1 year old before too long and I feel sad that I will be leaving the program. The classes have helped me to bond with other women, whatever situations we are in. All of us, as clients, want to be the best parents we can be. It's been just a joy to see babies be born and grow and relationships be built. The classes also are a tremendous aid. There are just too many benefits to mention. If you are out there and are having a baby at whatever age, whatever income, please contact someone at Gate and learn more about how they can help you through your pregnancy, birth and raising your child.
