Testimonials

I am in my early twenties and was very scared and uncertain when I found out I was pregnant with our son. It was a difficult pregnancy and it was clear I would be unable to work.

The day I walked into Open Arms I was ill and discouraged. A woman greeted me like I was an old friend. I knew that I was safe and that this place was different than any other agency I had encountered. The help that the ladies there gave my family that day was invaluable. Until then, I held the belief that there really weren't people like this.

Open Arms gave me back my faith in myself as well as my fellow man. I moved away for a time and still received letters and notes from Open Arms reminding me that there were people who cared about me and prayed for me. When I came back to the area, I was in a sad situation. I called Open Arms, and before the end of the day a staff member on their own time came and brought me formula for my son as well as clothing and other items I desperately needed.

Open Arms has helped me be the mom I am today by helping me help myself and by giving me the support and counsel and wisdom I was searching for. My gratitude for their generosity, selflessness and love is limitless.
