For those that have been following... According to the Government of New Brunswick a program exists that can potentially help out Joanna and her plight. Charles forwarded this information to me to post and I have added some extra links and required information. Lets see if the government can make good on their programs... WCIE
Welcome to the Prenatal Benefit Program
According to this website GNB DFCS
The choices you make while pregnant will affect you and your baby. It is important to choose healthy foods and a healthy lifestyle. Support may be available to help you make these choices.
So the questions are...
What is the Prenatal Benefit Program?
The Prenatal Benefit Program offers financial aid for mothers-to-be.
Who can get the Prenatal Benefit?
If your family income was less than $29,000 last year, after taxes, you may qualify for funding.
If I receive money, when does it start?
You begin to receive monthly cheques in the 14th week of pregnancy. However, you should apply as soon as possible to ensure you receive the maximum benefit amount.
How long will I receive financial support?
You will receive financial support until your baby is born. If you start receiving
funding when you are 14 weeks pregnant, then you will receive six cheques in total.
How do I apply?
Simply call the toll free number below to begin the application process.
Are there other government programs available to me?
There are many programs offered to help you make the transition from pregnancy to
parenting, regardless of your income. Find out more by visiting our Web site at

In my opinion I think what you two are doing with this blog and the adjustment taking place here is to be commended I don't believe there has been a blog make this much improvements in such a short amount of time and at the same time the popularity seems to be growing at a comfortable speed plus the fact that Charles reaches out to every mla and government official through the email system makes it unavoidable for them to face the large variety of conserns that are put before them through this process...Great Work!!!!
