When I found out I was pregnant, I felt so alone. All I wanted to do was to run away. I remember crying for hours. I would think of my parents who sent me to this country to get a better education. They would be very disappointed. I was staying with my uncle. I didn't want him to know about my pregnancy because I thought he would send me back to South Africa. Then he left me in June. I was introduced to a church member. She knew I had no place to stay and she decided to take me in. When I moved in, I felt so guilty because I was hiding my pregnancy. I wanted to move out but I had no where to go. A friend of mine told me about a place called Friends of the Unborn. I called and spoke to Penny. She asked me to come in Monday. I filled out all the forms, thereafter, she interviewed me. When she told me they had a room for me I could not believe it. That was so helpful and I was relieved. I moved into Friends of the Unborn's house in Hull. I met other girls that are in the same situation as I am. God only gives us what we can handle, no matter what the situation. You don't have to face it alone. God is always ready to give us hope. I thank Friends of the Unborn for being there for us all the time and everyone for their prayers. They really help. Now I am happy living at Friends of the Unborn. I am getting ready to be a good mother.
Thanks and love to all, Lauren.
