Hi John,
Like #EveryMom facing a crisis pregnancy, Christina felt completely overwhelmed…
At the time, she was busy building a career in her new home in Texas. She considered herself a “pioneer” because she was the first in her family to move out of state. She wanted to set a good example and make her loved ones proud.
But after ending her relationship, Christina found out she was pregnant. She had envisioned herself happily married before becoming a mom, and she struggled to reconcile her situation with the life she’d been working so hard to achieve.
Christina felt like her dreams were "snatched away - and it hurt a lot"
She couldn't obtain an abortion in Texas because of the state's lifesaving Heartbeat Law. The only place she could go was out of state – and the quickest appointment was several weeks away.
Panicked, Christina searched online for an earlier appointment and found the number for Human Coalition’s contact center. She called and spoke with a compassionate nurse who told her, "We're here to support you...we have your back!"
Even though Christina finally felt a glimmer of hope, she was still confused. Lacking a strong community here in Texas, she saw no other path forward than abortion. In her heaviness, she set out on a drive to Planned Parenthood in Oklahoma.
However, in the abortion procedure room, something caught her eye that changed her heart: a metal garbage can. The reality of throwing away her child’s life struck her.
When she shared her discomfort, the Planned Parenthood employee told her she could leave, but could not be refunded for the abortion she’d already paid for.
The support system she had found through the telecare nurse echoed through her mind. At that moment, she decided she would walk out, choosing life for her baby.
Christina said, "I walked out and felt so free."
John, #EveryMom deserves better than Planned Parenthood. #EveryMom needs someone telling them, “We have your back!” And #EveryMom should have the hope and tangible help that empowers them to choose life.
And #EveryMom begins with you deciding to rescue the next mom and child from abortion today.
To give #EveryMom this lifesaving support, a generous group of donors has provided a Challenge Grant of $125,000 for Mother’s Day. Every dollar you give today will make TWICE the impact for moms like Christina when paired with the Challenge Grant.
It only costs $26 to connect one mom seeking abortion to Human Coalition’s national contact center. That means your gift today of $26 can connect the next mom seeking abortion to a caring contact center agent. Your gift of $52 can connect the next two moms. And $104 can give the next four moms the chance to choose life.
Christina never forgot the hope she felt during her initial phone call with Human Coalition. And after returning to Texas, she quickly reached back out and visited a Human Coalition pregnancy center in her community. The support from donors like you provided Christina with the community and help she needed throughout her pregnancy and after the birth of her beautiful daughter, Joanna
I’m so grateful to you for reaching Christina, rescuing Joanna, and restoring her family. Because of you, they will celebrate Mother’s Day together this year!
