HOW WE HELP

"Cayaba helped me through my high risk pregnancy by simply being there as a support outside of the traditional support system that I had. Through dealing with anxiety and then later in the pregnancy finding out I had severe preeclampsia Cayaba Care was there for it all. Sometimes the help we need is not from those we seek it from, it comes from unexpected places and people."

-Nikia Warthen

“I love that they are able to help with resources whenever I need help from housing help to a listening ear!! I had my daughter 7 months ago and Sharlene still reaches out to me to make sure I’m doing ok and all it means is that she still cares and I love that.”

-Valeria Manigat

"It was a really cool experience and I love that I had the option of being in person or virtual. Michelle was awesome and even helped me apply for WIC and was very knowledgeable. I really appreciate it!"
