Hi i am a teenage mom that has trouble affording daipers and day care and everyday food i am 17 years old i already have wic but i need help with clothes rent and diapers. What programs in maryland can help me.What programs in maryland help teenage moms with diapers and day care expenses?
Here's a link to Catholic Community Services in the Maryland area. I can't see exactly what is offered in your area or where to go for help because you will have to put what city you live in and you didn't say.





If you look on the left hand side you'll see an All Programs link you can click on and when you do you'll see they help with daycare and a lot more things.





I'm not Catholic, but I know that Catholic Community Services will help you even if you are not a Catholic as they helped me when my kids were babies and toddlers (and YES -- I was married and we were both working -- to the person who told her to get a job)





Anyway, here's the link:

call 2-1-1 they are a referral for all kinds of community and government referrals. There is county funded daycare and also there are head start preschools. 2-1-1 can get you in touch with them. They can also help you find places in your community for rental and utility assistance, diapers, food, clothes, formula, gas card, bus passes, etc. Also try applying for HUD section 8 housing. I am not sure if you are on cash aid or food stamps, but if you ever need to go on it, you know its there. They can also provide you with occassional diapers, hygien, baby hygiene, food, and gas vouchers. If you are low income there are CARE programs that get you a discount on the utilities.


Also try churches in your area and try craigslist and freecycle websites for free or cheap baby items.
The 'get a job' program. Seriously, why have a baby know you can't afford?
What about social services. I live in Maryland and they help me with day care.


Good Luck!!!
