It's like having a best friend and cheerleader on speed-dial.    

To expecting mothers across the country – even as far as Alaska and Hawaii – you don't have to do this alone. Look for pregnancy centers and mentorship programs in your neighborhood or virtually. Thanks to the support I received from Kaitlyn and the Leap for Joy mentorship program, I not only discovered the confidence to give Milo the love and care he deserves, I also found a new friend. 

With support, motherhood is far less daunting and far more rewarding than anything I've ever experienced. Seeing my son grow, laugh and discover the world around him has become my greatest joy, and I wouldn't have started on this journey half as knowledgeable without the help of this new friend. It really does take a village.
