This week we have started working on the street in a new place: Jerome Avenue, on The Bronx. There is a Pregnancy Center there, where Cathy works hard everyday counseling and helping girls about their pregnancy and the life they have inside them.
We were not really sure about how could it be this new experience. We have never been on that part of The Bronx living information to the citizens at the street and we were worried about maybe no one could come to us to ask. Or that we wouldn’t be welcome on the neighborhood. Or that we would have troubles for being at the street…
But nothing of that happened. Since the first day, we have be supported by the citizens on Jerome Avenue. Almost everyone was proud and happy with the idea that we were there to help women. A lot of people came to ask for information and interested by what we were saying. A have many good examples.
A young latin-american woman was really surprised by the size of the 12 weeks baby model. She told me that she thought about having abortion of her lovely daughter, Marlene, when she was pregnant of 12 weeks. Another woman explained to her sons what we were doing there and she congratulated us for being there. A cuban man spent a few minutes taking with us about how bad was the abortion in NYC. A deaf-dumb girl was really happy of found us on the street and she said that she would come again with more friends.
Those are just a few of an amount of good examples. But we really appreciate these samples of support.
