I went to the hospital for what I thought was just chest pain. I never imagined I’d leave with life-changing news—I was 18 weeks pregnant. I had no idea. I hadn’t been living like I was pregnant. I had been drinking, under constant stress, and just trying to survive. I was already struggling financially, barely making ends meet. The fear that my baby could be born with fetal alcohol syndrome, or worse, into a life I couldn’t support, crushed me.
Then I found Cobalt. Their support was everything. They didn’t judge me—they helped me. Cobalt gave me options, compassion, and the resources I needed when I was most overwhelmed. Without them, I don’t know where I’d be. Their help quite literally saved my life—and gave me the power to reclaim it.
