my pregnant cousin needs help...

[livin4thebigman]

My cousin (19) is pregnant with her first child and isn't in a great situation. She is living with her friend's mother who isn't that great of an influence. My cousin has a crappy job, no car, no support, and no health insurance. Also, she broke up with the guy she was dating about month ago, so they are no longer together. She is about 2 months or so along.

What gov't and state (PA) programs are out there to aid single mothers? The biggest thing right now is getting her healthcare. Her parents took her off their policy a while back, however I want to see if they will/can reinstate her. If they won't/can't, she needs to get healthcare some other place.

She's been through a lot, she could really use prayer.

Thanks.

first off I realize this is the women's section and I am a guy, however, I really don't know where else to turn. I'll post this in the forum. Please respond to it by PM's so that I do not have to continue returning to your forum and can respect your space. Thank You.

It's awesome that you want to help your cousin. I can actually help give you dsome direction for her. I work for a national pregnancy hotline that deals with these situations. They will help her get assistance that will help her be a great mom. If you give me her zip code I can send you a listing of some pregnancy centers that will help.
