Sedraya Kemp, 21, becomes emotional speaking about her current hardships with nurse Brianna Tilson during a visit at Kemp's apartment in Amarillo on June 18. Tilson is part of the Nurse-Family Partnership, a program that sends nurses to meet with pregnant women and new moms at their homes in rural areas.

Local leaders of the Nurse-Family Partnership hope they can secure money to expand the program to the region’s rural areas.
