"I have been working with Twenty Hands since early 2017, specifically with Wendy. She’s been there for me through my last 2 pregnancies, in 2017 and this year. I thank god that I’ve had her support, as she goes above and beyond for me and my daughters. I am still currently her client now with my 2-month-old daughter. This program and Wendy have helped me in more ways than I imagined they would. They have changed my life. I’m a better parent and person because of the support I receive. Anything from help and advice with the kids to helping me with my own personal struggles. Wendy is always just a call or text away when I need help. Also, they provide support with things we need such as diapers, bibs, and even help with Christmas presents. The resources they have to offer are amazing. I am so grateful for all of this. I recommend Twenty Hands to all family and friends who become pregnant. Really, I recommend it to anyone who becomes pregnant. Thank you, Twenty Hands and Wendy."

"I began working with 20 Hands at a time in my life where I felt completely helpless and alone. Facing an unplanned pregnancy, and losing everything I had, I didn’t know what to do. I met with a caseworker, and immediately felt as though I had someone working with me who genuinely cared about my baby and I, someone who was willing to go above and beyond to show she truly cared and was there to give help and support when I needed it most. I was able to meet with her on a regular basis, and she was able to connect me with multiple people within the community who made my situation so much better. With the help of 20 Hands, I was able to get everything I needed to bring my baby home to a perfect place. Meeting with the dietitian, and nurse, as well as my caseworker was absolutely wonderful. These people care so much about the families they work with, and go above and beyond to provide the help some of us desperately need. I can’t even begin to thank 20 Hands enough for all the support they have given my beautiful baby and I. They were an absolute God send. Thank you, 20 Hands, for all you have done and continue to do for my precious baby and I."

“Twenty Hands has been a God send to my family and I. They have showed me the importance of my children’s development and educated me on how important it is to protect my child each step of the way. They have been in my life over the curse of the last five years and I consider them to be a part of my family. They have been supportive of me and encouraging. For that, I am grateful to have them in my life.”

“Everyone from Twenty Hands is SO supportive and wonderful to me and my family. I laughed, I cried, I really opened up, felt safe and respected. Twenty Hands became my family and I would share my great experience with anyone”

“I loved working with two of the ladies from Twenty Hands Maternal Infant Health Program during my pregnancy so much that I enrolled my baby as well. I joined the program during my pregnancy at a time when I needed more support but wasn’t sure what type of support it was that I still needed. I had supportive parents but felt something was missing that I needed. I also didn’t want to admit I was in a bad relationship that wasn’t healthy for my baby or myself. Working with the ladies, I found comfort, an outlet, an extended support system, and friends who I could trust, that were there for me for the right reasons and genuinely cared about me and my baby and our wellbeing and were not judgmental for what I said to them or what I was going through. They helped me to see how strong and brave I was and gave me the courage to get my baby and myself into a better space. I loved how I was able to get advice and answers to questions I had. If they were unable to answer my question, they would reach out to another member of their team who did so that I was given the most accurate answers. They shared their experiences as women and mothers with me and were able to relate on different levels. It didn’t feel like a patient/doctor relationship which I didn’t need more of; it was more of like a mentor/mentee relationship which was wonderful. They were like an extension of my OBGYN, but for me, on a more personal level where I wasn’t rushed so they could get to the next person that they needed to see, and my concerns were heard and not dismissed which was also important to me. I don’t know where my child and I would be today if it wasn’t for this program and all that this group of ladies do. I am so thankful for them and so grateful for the work they do in the community.”
