Our Mom Stories

Kimberly has made a difference in my life. She has recommended me to a lot of resources that I didn’t know about. She is giving me help with things for my children. She’s even helped my children's father with a job whom she recommended to her brother. Kimberly is very kind and straight forwarded and what she can help you with.

Kimberly is my Community Health Worker she has helped me and made a difference in my life. She has provided me with resources, and helped me get baby items she is also a good listener and a support person. I can call her if I need some advice on things that I’m not sure of and need an opinion on. Kimberly is amazing, and I appreciate everything she has and still is doing. Kimberly will get a 5-star from me, and thank you, Kimberly, for everything.

Kimberly is a nice person and has helped me in every way she could. I love to come to Kimberly for resources in the community because she will get the job done.

Ms. Kimberly is very helpful to me on February 4th she attended my appointment at court. She advocated for me and I would love for her to continue to work with me. I can call or text her any time of the day and she takes time out to listen to me/text back and gives positive advice.

Kimberly is a very good Community Health Worker and she is an active listener to me whenever I need her. She always returns my phone calls in a timely manner and provides me with the resources that I need. I love and enjoy having her as my Community Health Worker. I wanna say Thank you, Kim, for coming into my life and being there for me. I'm happy I was pregnant because I got a chance to meet you it was the best day ever. You have been supportive of me since day 1 and helped me in so many ways. I love you, Kim, for everything and for helping me through it all. Your are a great mom and you're good at your job God is going to bless you in so many ways.

I would like to personally thank the Mommy & Me Initiative for not only what they’ve done for me, but for everything beautiful! Such a blessing ❤️ I needed assistance with getting an infant car seat/stroller for my new baby, as well as a backpack for my school-age daughter. Not to mention, the community resources I’ve been referred to, the support, even signed us up for Christmas help! Money has been very tight, and our prayers have been answered! God is good!
