The Hidden Costs of Teen Parenting — And How You Can Help

Raising a baby is expensive. For a teen parent, the costs can feel impossible. A box of diapers lasts just one week. Formula can cost hundreds of dollars a month. Add clothing, childcare, and transportation, and many young parents quickly find themselves overwhelmed.

That’s where Parents With Promise steps in. We provide emergency kits filled with diapers, wipes, clothes, and formula. We help cover childcare so teen parents can stay in school. And soon, our maternity home will provide a safe space to grow and thrive.

Here’s the powerful part: small gifts make a big difference.

• $50 can cover a week of groceries for a teen mom and her baby.
• $100 can provide a month of diapers and wipes.
• $250 can help cover childcare so a teen parent can attend class

When you give, you’re not just meeting a need—you’re giving dignity, stability, and hope.

Together, we can lift the hidden burdens and empower young families.
