Sue had the privilege of speaking with the Peer Health Helpers at NMU. It was such an enjoyable opportunity to spend time with a group of passionate young people who are committed to supporting the health and well-being of others. The models of babies shown to the helpers encourage engagement in a practical way.

Thank you for the warm welcome, your thoughtful engagement, and the important work you do on campus. I hope our time together sparked meaningful conversations and provided encouragement as you continue making a difference in the lives of your peers.

Courage isn't having all the answers. It's taking the next step.
If you're facing an unexpected pregnancy, the next step doesn't have to be making a decision today.
It might simply be asking a question.
Having a conversation.
Or reaching out for support.
We're here to provide a safe space where you can explore your options, find clarity, and know that you're not alone.
💛 Free. Confidential. Compassionate Support.

We understand that you might not have planned for your girlfriend or partner to fall pregnant.

You might have taken precautions to make sure it didn't happen, which can make the situation even more confusing.

We know this may be an overwhelming and scary situation to face, but you're not alone. Let us help.

Young couples can face a lot of pressure when dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and this can lead to rushed decisions and feelings of hurt and betrayal.

Let us help you with true and safe information about your options, so you can make an informed decision that you're both comfortable with.

Acts of kindness have a ripple effect, and today we were reminded just how powerful that can be.

A heartfelt thank you to Elaine and the Union of Jewish Women Port Elizabeth for choosing to use Mandela Day to support Heart for Alternatives. Your generosity, compassion, and willingness to pay it forward have made a meaningful difference to the women and families we serve.

We are so grateful for your partnership and your commitment to making our community brighter. Thank you for helping us continue to offer hope, support, and practical care to those who need it most.

Thank you for making Mandela Day count. ❤️
