Daesha came to FirstLook for her second pregnancy. She had lived a nomadic lifestyle with her husband in another state and was ready to put down some roots in Ellis County.

At FirstLook one of our many joys is providing educational classes to our clients. Class topics include prenatal education, newborn care, toddler care and life skills.

Client Coordinators, Interns, and the Case Manager enjoy meeting with clients and being part of their support team!
Many times at the FirstLook Boutiques we get items that some may think are old, no longer usable, out of date, or just aren’t wanted anymore.
