Having been a teen mom herself at the age of 16, Erica knows first-hand the burdens and difficulties that lie ahead for pregnant teens. Her goal with Dreams Altered But Not Abandoned is to give teen moms a practical, comprehensive guide that will give them the knowledge and preparation they need to succeed as a new parent.
Dreams Altered But Not Abandoned is not a book that condones or condemns teen parents. Rather, it’s a book that offers teen moms steps they need to help them overcome the challenges that they are about to face. It’s hard enough raising a child when you’re an adult, so imagine raising a child when you’re still wrestling with childhood yourself.
Dreams Altered But Not Abandoned includes a wealth of information to answer all of the perplexing questions that a teen mommy may be asking, from preparing for the baby’s arrival and being smart with finances to completing a resume and balancing school, work, home and baby. Complete with tips from other successful teen parents, this is an important read for any soon-to-be teen mom.
Dreams Altered But Not Abandoned has been an educational source for many schools across the country to aide in the success of their teen parenting programs.
Teen Mom Outreach Program
Precious Hearts Corp. will seek opportunities for community outreach through our TMO program which involves sending teen moms to fulfill our mission of raising teen pregnancy awareness and possible funding. These young mothers will reach out and speak to other teen girls about the importance of abstinence and birth control. Their testimonies just might be the driving force that persuades another teen girl to remain abstinent.
Scholarship Application
The purpose of the Precious Hearts Scholarship Fund is to assist pregnant and parenting teen mothers in furthering their education, so that they may become successful in spite of their situation. Precious Hearts would also like to help ensure that the rates increase for teenage mothers continuing their education beyond high school graduation. The scholarship can be used for tuition, books, and G.E.D. training.
