Testimonials
"I want to start by thanking Young Parents United for all that you have done to support me as a parent. You have helped me to connect me daughter with Early Intervention & Speech Therapy. She first had to learn sign language and now she is talking perfectly at 4 years old and goes to pre school ! It is not easy being a young single Mom. You helped me as a mother with parenting and nutrition classes. You guided me to go back to school for my GED, and also to participate in a job training program at YPU. I have received assistance regularly with baby supplies, diapers, household supplies, clothing for myself and my daughter, and personal care needs too! There was also a time when I was behind on rent and almost lost my apartment - Young Parents United helped me to catch up with back rent. I really appreciate all the support for myself and my daughter. I do not know what I would have done if I was not a part of this great program ! "

“A lot of times I wish I could be a normal teenager
– still attending school – but for me, there’s a lot to look forward to. It’s not all about having a normal teenagehood, it’s about having a different one.”
Georgia Hageman, 15
“The most important thing she’d learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.”
~Jill Churchill~
