Wichita community baby shower shows moms where to get help
4/2/16 – Wichita Eagle
“I didn’t have any help from my family, and I didn’t want to have him,” Evelyn Valladares said of her son, who was sleeping in a baby carrier, the brim of a ballcap tilted to one side of his head. “There were a lot of people who helped me a lot.”
At that instant, Valladares caught sight of one of them seated at a table across the room.
“This lady helped me so much,” she exclaimed, then directed her stroller and her sister over to registered nurse Debbie Entz, director of Choices Medical Clinic.
The clinic – which offers free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, medical and other consultations, and prenatal vitamins – was one of the organizations represented at the shower. Insurance provider United Healthcare throws such showers to show neighborhood residents the range of help available to them.
