A friend told her about Matrix LifeCare Center. Seeking help and guidance, Gabi went there. She told her story to Amy Hutchcraft, client care director at Matrix. Hutchcraft said, &#8220;[Gabi] didn&#8217;t have anyone to talk to. I wanted to be that person for Gabi, cheering her on.

She also offered her an ultrasound.\u00a0The ultrasound changed Gabi\u2019s life. Gabi said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>It was amazing.

She quit smoking and began getting prenatal care. She also started parenting classes at Matrix. She says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>I was doing my parenting classes every week, and I couldn&#8217;t wait to go. Amy would sit with me, and we&#8217;d watch a video and do activities. I could ask her questions, and she always had the answer to every question. The classes were amazing, and every week I could pick up something new for the baby from the Nest [the center&#8217;s baby boutique].<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The Nest is amazing, and they have everything: clothes, diapers, blankets, shoes.

I probably still couldn&#8217;t, to this day, [make it] without her and Matrix.\u201d<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>When the baby was born, Hutchcraft gave Gabi a gift basket with a note that said &#8220;We&#8217;re here for you. We&#8217;re a family.&#8221;\u00a0Gabi had her son Braxton in October 2018. She says, \u201cIt was the best feeling in the whole world. I fell in love for the first time in my whole life.\u201d<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>With the help of Hutchcraft and other volunteers at Matrix, Gabi has turned her life around. She sums up her experience with Matrix by saying:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Two years ago, I was spending all the money I made at the bar, getting drunk and doing stupid stuff.
