i have a friend who is pregnant for the second time. no one in her family wants to accept her in their home because she's done it again. her father took all her money so that she'll go to the man who got her pregnant. but unfortunately, the guy is going abroad to work and broke up with her. she doesn't have a home, money and work. They are rich but since he father also abandoned her, she is willing to work as a maid so that she can have a place to stay and earn for herself but unfortunately, no one will accept a pregnant woman for a maid. i can't let her stay in my house anymore since my parents are coming over. i really pity her but what can i do, i also don't have any money to lend her. she's embarrassed to ask her friends since she admits it was her mistake that she got into this mess. now she really regrets everything. if she could only turn back time. i am not sure if convents can accept her since i think only orphans are accepted.

The government should be able to help her there is alot of programs that she can get into. But with finding a place to stay, I know were I am from it takes forever. I would advise her to try to get some help from the government. That is really sad though that her father threw her out and wants nothing to do with her. Although, the convent may be able to help her or give her some advice on who else also may be able to help her. All you can do is give it a shot and call, the only thing they could say is no.

yeah it's really hard for me too because thinking she doesn't have anywhere to go...plans are canceled the last minute, since either she needs money for rent or no vacancies for work. if she could only survive for the month, she's smart and all but for now she really needs a place to stay.

If anything she'll be happy that you are trying to help her in the best way you can, since she has no one else.

What about the guy's family, couldn't she stay with them, after all it is their grandchild she is carrying. You said it was her second time, where is the other child? Maybe there is an agency that she can go to that will give her shelter. I wish her luck!!
