John,
I want to share a seemingly impossible story with you today. Things did not look good for the baby in Marlena’s womb …
“I want to have an abortion,” she told her husband.
“I don’t want any more kids. I'm 42. Our youngest is 12. Like I don't want to start all the way over.”
But Marlena’s ultrasound revealed more than she expected ... “I saw arms and legs moving, a head. I'm thinking I was going to see a little egg or something. It was a whole human! I was happy and shocked at the same time. My emotions were everywhere.”
She was leaning toward choosing life, then the unthinkable happened. Her husband was murdered. Completely overwhelmed, Marlena was frightened about what to do next. She hadn’t worked in years and wasn’t sure if she could provide for the three children she already had, let alone a newborn on top of that.
You have to watch Marlena’s incredible story and see how your help changed everything for her during a really difficult time. Her story is an example of your prayers and support at work, shining light through the darkest of situations. And I just think it's a great reminder for you today: www.HumanCoalition.org/Marlenas-Story
