Lynchburg, VA - Walmart has given Lynchburg's Alliance for Families and Children a major gift to prevent teen pregnancy. The Alliance received a check for $30,000 Wednesday from the corporation. The gift will go towards programs that prevent teenage pregnancy.

And help young mothers, like 19-year-old Ahniece Farmer graduate from high school, go to college and get a job.

Ahniece Farmer, Teen Parent Program Graduate - "If it wasn't for me going to the Alliance for Families and Children I wouldn't be where I am today. I probably would have dropped out of school or something--but luckily I didn't. I got through and graduated."

Last year's Virginia Department of Health numbers show teen pregnancies are increasing in Lynchburg, Amherst and Campbell Counties. And they expect those numbers to get even higher.
