Postpartum Support group Meeting in Troy

It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child. Well, currently our 'village' is pretty scarce for new moms; women are left to do the majority of baby raising alone, separated from friends, co-workers and families. It is hard physically and emotionally. Below is information on a support group for new moms that are having a difficult time

May all babies be born into loving hands...
