If These Walls Could Talk

If these walls could talk...  

 You would overhear a young couple contemplating abortion. With two toddlers and limited income, they just don’t see a way. If you could sit in the waiting room with them, you would see their downcast faces and agitated gestures.

These are the faces of despair.  

 What you would also hear are the nurse and community health nurse assuring this couple they are no longer alone, that there are layers of support we can offer. As we wrap around this bewildered couple, you would notice subtle transformations. And with her first OB appointment scheduled and his enrollment into our men’s mentorship program, they look different walking out of our building.

These are the faces of hope.
