Courage and Empowerment

Beata is a beautiful single mother of three.  She just had her third baby a few weeks ago.  Beata has taught us and inspired us so much.  Beata came to Embrace a few months ago after having several difficult experiences.  However, she was determined to get the care she needed for herself and her family.  Beata completed our Healthy Moms class series near the end of her pregnancy.  So, when her provider suggested some interventions that she was not comfortable with, she responded with questions and then confidence in the decisions she made. With the support of her Embrace volunteer and the education from the classes, Beata felt prepared to advocate for herself and her needs.  The same night after her appointment where she refused the interventions, she went into labor and the following morning gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl.  We are so thankful and honored to walk alongside strong and resilient women like Beata who journey with love and courage through motherhood.  We believe mothers like Beata are the ones creating a better future for not only their families, but also our community and the world.
