Sexual Health Education valued at 13,451 students $67,257 Tia and Jay* came to the pregnancy center in a state of confusion. Tia wanted an abortion. Jay felt that abortion was the wrong choice but wanted to support Tia. When a free ultrasound revealed two babies, Tia knew she could not abort her babies. In Tia’s words: At the pregnancy center, I received plenty of information and resources that will help me along with my pregnancy. The nurse performed an ultrasound and I was able to see my babies! It was amazing! I was still worried about how I could manage such a big change, but they reassured me that I would not be alone. They would help me through this journey. I can’t thank everyone at the pregnancy center enough. If they didn’t do what they do for the community, I would not have had the support I needed. *Actual clients.
