These families all dared to #envision what life could look like if they made a different kind of choice. They certainly aren’t alone through this – we stick with them, offering them real help and hope, for years!

If you find yourself faced with the unplanned, get the facts and dare to envision. We are here for you every step of the way!

It takes a brave person to admit that they need help. And when the unexpected happens, help is certainly what is needed. It can be scary, lonely and uncertain!

But some things don’t have to be any of those . . . mainly, your first visit to Advice & Aid.

Here, you find help, options, acceptance (no matter what your choice) and a friendly face! We can reduce the stress of that first-time visit to our office – learn exactly what to expect, and how we can help when the unexpected happens.

Families able to face their fears…

An unplanned pregnancy can cause many fears. We hear reasons every day why a woman (or family) feels that they can’t continue on with this pregnancy.

Meet some of these families who were faced with fear when they found out about an unplanned pregnancy, and learn what they say now about finding the help they so desperately needed during that difficult time.

Meet one of our clients who got help – both through an unplanned pregnancy and the loss of another pregnancy.

Not all stories here are the same. But the thing they have in common is that women and families are faced with a crisis. And they absolutely don’t have to do it alone. We are here for each phase to provide real help and ongoing support.

There is nothing worse than feeling completely alone during an unplanned pregnancy. And when the father makes it clear that he wants no part in this, where in the world does a young mother turn?

She finds help and support to do this at Advice & Aid. Life is so much richer with both her son and the long-term support and aid that she is finding here.

Parents are angry, father is not close by, help seems a million miles away. Sound familiar to you?

Our sweet young client came to us from St Louis, needing solutions to a difficult situation. She moved here, found help and support, is now fully supported by both the father AND her parents. All possible because she first found the help she needed with us.

Meet one of our Nurses, Katie Pope, as she informs you on what you can expect here. We always have nurses on site here, like Katie, who can help you think through all of your options and give you the exact information you need. We’re open Monday – Saturday, and take both appointments and walk-ins.

If you find yourself in need, come see us!

I was scared. I was depressed. I pretty much felt like my life was over. I felt like this was something that I wasn’t going to tell anyone and I’m just going to take care of it.

When I was considering termination, I thought that was the answer. If I just take care of it, I can move on with my life and leave it in the past.

When I arrived at Advice & Aid, I just felt loved on . . .

When I found out I was pregnant, it was hard to tell my mom because I was raised Catholic my whole life.

Abortion wasn’t a choice. I was going to have this child. It was more of the, “I’m a senior in high school. What am I going to do?” I had this plan for myself. I was going to go to K-State. I was going to be in a sorority.

And I knew at this point, life was about to change.

We were only married a year when I found out I was pregnant. We were having pretty big problems, so when I found out, I was pretty scared because I didn’t know if we were going to stay together or not.

I was scared . . . I didn’t know anything about being a dad.
I didn’t even have insurance for myself.
At first I didn’t want to go. I thought it was just for girls. But then I realized they had a lot more for dads than I expected.

When I was 15, I was in what I thought was a serious relationship. I became sexually active and soon found myself pregnant.

When the day of the abortion came, I thought it was my best option. After 10 years of suffering, I finally found someone to listen without judging. Advice & Aid became my safe place.

The right kind of help can make all the difference! When my wife and I found out we were expecting, we were going through a lot and it wasn’t a good time for us.

Advice & Aid provided us with the early pregnancy care, pre- and post-parenting classes we needed as well as supplies for our baby.

When I found out I was pregnant, the thought crossed my mind . . . I could have an abortion. After all, I was only 19 and in college.

Despite everything we may have lost, we gained so much more by choosing to parent our daughter.

When I found out I was pregnant, I was 17. We were in high school.

It was really scary. I, at 17, didn’t know what to expect. Telling my parents was one of the scariest things I have ever done.

Ashley’s Story …

I felt really alone, to be honest, because I didn’t know who to turn to. I wasn’t sure if I was financially prepared for that. I didn’t know if I could provide a good foundation in my relationship with the father.

There are so many questions that you go through when it is unexpected like that.

Diego’s Story …

With a baby girl on the way, Diego felt he needed support and knowledge to be prepared. He found exactly what he needed (and more!) at Advice & Aid Pathways Dad’s Support Group.
