You deserve somewhere safe to figure this out.
Not pressure. Not judgment. Just support — while you decide what comes next.
You don't have to be in danger to come to AMAI.
You might be:
- Pregnant and abandoned by a partner, family, or both
- Living with someone who scares you
- Being pressured to make a decision you're not ready to make
- Without a stable place to live or sleep
- Isolated, overwhelmed, and running out of time
If any of that is true, AMAI is for you.
You may be feeling pressure to make a decision you're not ready to make. AMAI believes every woman deserves the space to make that decision clearly — with safety around her, not fear.
We believe in you. We believe in this child. And we believe that with the right support, both of you can make it through this.
What coming to AMAI looks like.
Simple. Safe. At your pace.
You reach out.
Through this site, by phone, or through someone who referred you. You don't need documentation. You don't need to explain everything at once.
We talk.
A real person on our team will speak with you — about your situation, what you need, and whether AMAI is the right fit. No pressure. No judgment.
You arrive.
AMAI is a home-like environment — private, calm, and safe. You'll have your own space, meals, and time to breathe.
You get support — not direction.
We won't tell you what to do. We'll help you understand your options clearly, connect you to legal help and healthcare if you need it, and create space for you to make your own decisions.
You leave with a plan.
Before you go, we make sure you have somewhere real to go — housing, support, resources. You won't leave without a next step.
You have questions. We have answers.
Stays are based on need, not a fixed number of days. Most women stay between two and eight weeks. Some situations require longer. We figure that out together.
No. You can reach out before you've made any decisions. That's what we're here for.
That's exactly the right time to come. You don't need answers. You need safety and space to find them.
Yes. Your safety and privacy are the foundation of everything AMAI does.
Contact us. We work with each situation individually.
No. AMAI is fully funded by donors and partners. There is no cost to women who come for refuge.
You don't have to make this decision alone — or fast, or under pressure.
However you reach us, a real person will respond. There is no wrong way to start this conversation.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
