Everything went downhill quickly for Eboni, age 25, when she learned that she was pregnant. Her relationship with her boyfriend and her family deteriorated. She felt that “people’s true colors came out” as everyone turned on her because she did not want to get married and raise a child the traditional way. For two years, Eboni received assistance from Heartland Alliance, a Chicago based organization that serves marginalized individuals in the areas of health, safety, justice, and jobs. After delivering Kelani by c-section, Eboni was slow to recover from surgery and experienced postpartum depression. No family member offered to help. Eboni bounced from home to home of friends while working with Catholic Charities on permanent housing. We met with Eboni two days after she and Kelani moved into their apartment. At the time of our conversation, Eboni remarked that, finally, she was finding peace and happiness again.
