Testimonials
Participant testimonials:
“These ladies have been very helpful to me with both my pregnancies. They have given me tremendous support when I need them. They have helped me keep all my doctor's appointments as well as kept me informed of all the activities of the Program which I enjoy attending very much. It was wonderful to bring my kids and see all the mothers with their healthy babies at the last New Parents Meeting at the YWCA. I believe the program has helped me give better care of my family and I recommend this program to all the new mothers in Worcester.”

“You are my savior. You helped me to find this job that makes me happy. I do not have the support from my husband so being financially independent makes my life easier with my new baby.”
“You acquainted me with all the services the program offers. I got transportation assistance, diapers when they ran out, and parenting education. The support and information I get makes a big difference. The twins will soon be two. I feel that WHSI is a wonderful program. They have a great support system and every chance I get I try to spread the word about WHSI so that more people can get involved. I am so grateful for everything they have done for me.”
“I do not know what I would do without you guys. You helped me to find the information regarding my divorce that my husband was hiding from me and gave me peace of mind. You helped me with a shelter and housing, clothes, furniture, my medical insurances, helping me through my depression and with my newborn to give her a better life. I would never finish listing the things that you guys are doing for me.”

“Since enrolling into the program I have received a lot of support from my case manager. I have called on her to help me through every crisis. Through her, I have received help with transportation to get to my prenatal visits and keep up with school and hold my family together. I have been connected with all the resources I have needed, being emergency food, baby supplies, getting to WIC appointments and getting my life back together. ”
“If you do not exist in this city I do not imagine myself going through all my problems alone. I remember when you helped me with my abusive husband during my pregnancy. Your support keeps me going. You served me beyond duty with transportation, medical appointments, food, clothes, medical bills, and medical insurance. I also remember when my husband left me with all my household bills and you supported me so I did not crumble. You taught me to help myself. Looking back, I feel now that my baby is 9 months old, I am more able to stand for myself, now I can call all places that I need to and be more assertive following your example. Your help and guidance helped me to start learning English and now getting a job.”
“After my husband was deported I was left without money, with rent and bills to pay. I was about to deliver and you helped me to find ways to get money to pay the rent through different charities. Also with your help I got clothes for all my three children and beyond that I got all my kids’ car seats. You also helped me with medical insurance and all the emotional support I needed during that time. I am sure I am forgetting all other help you gave me because I cannot count them all.”
