Megan's Story - From Heartbreak to Hope
Megan was told she'd never conceive.
​
Imagine her surprise when she found herself pregnant. She was ecstatic - being a mom was something she's wanted for a long time. But life took a drastic turn during her pregnancy.
​
Her partner at the time was no longer willing to commit to parent with her. She lost her job as being pregnant hindered her from meeting the demands of her work. And with rises in rent, she found herself facing homelessness.
​
Then she found Maggie's Place. Maggie's Place is a nonprofit partner of Waste Not. They provide shelter, clothing, classes, counseling, and yes, food to expecting mothers. Megan was accepted right away.
​
Megan's miracle baby has been born, Megan is in school, and she doesn't have to worry about having a place to stay, baby clothes (or diapers for that matter), or food.
​
Her daughter's first birthday is right around the corner and Megan is so grateful for all the support she's received.
​
And we're grateful too. For her story of resilience. For Maggie's Place. And for you - thank you for supporting people like Megan and her daughter.
