Dear John,
Have you ever experienced soul-crushing fear or anxiety that paralyzed you to the point that you felt like you couldn’t breathe?
Each day, we encounter women who face such difficult circumstances that they can’t see a way out of their pain. The thought of giving birth to a child when their lives are in utter chaos is overwhelming. They have been told so many times they can’t do it; they don’t believe they can.
But, because of you, these very women are receiving the help and hope they desperately need! We see death defeated in our women’s care clinics, from community to community, as women say “yes” to life.
We see life prevail in our virtual, pro-life clinics in Texas and Pennsylvania as hurting women discover they are not alone. As burdens are shared, women become empowered to choose life—women like Deanna.
“My resources were telling me, ‘No’ [to having my baby]. Friends [who had known me] for years were telling me, ‘No’ [to having my baby].”
Deanna’s childhood had been riddled with abuse. She didn’t have anyone to speak love and encouragement into her life. Instead, the constant message she received growing up was that she would end up like her drug-addicted mother.
When Deanna became pregnant, all she felt was shame and fear.
Her past came screaming back at her,
You’re going to be a single mother!
You can’t do it. You will end up like your mother.
It’s more than you can handle.
“Thankfully, at the women’s care clinic, there were people who gave me hope, love, nurturing, and support. I was thriving off of fear. I was so afraid of what people would think of me because I wasn’t married."
"I am so thankful for this organization that gave me courage and love and help when I needed it.”
As our team encouraged and supported Deanna, her fear and shame began to give way to peace and joy. She started to believe that she could be successful as a single parent.
John, because of caring partners like you, Deanna chose life and welcomed her healthy baby boy, Major, into the world.
She said, “I can’t imagine having chosen a different path. God chose me to be his mom, and I almost missed out on a lifetime of loving this boy.”
Every day, through our contact center and in our women’s care clinics, our care staff speak words of restoration and encouragement into the hearts of hurting and scared women, just like Deanna.
Tapestries of life-giving care are woven to make choosing life possible so that children like Major get a chance to grow up.
Because of you, moms are choosing life and finding hope. And children are experiencing the gift of life!
It is tragic, however, that so many women at high risk to abort don’t know there is help available to them.
Our data indicates that:
- 1 in 5 women are pressured to abort
- 2 out of 5 women are below the poverty line
- 1 in 2 women say they are Christians
- 1 in 3 have no health insurance
- 3 out of 5 need a friend
The women we help who seek abortions are desperate. Like Deanna, many have never heard words of encouragement.
Repeatedly, “I can’t” echoes in their heads.
This is why we need your help. This is why THEY need your help.
When you give, women are encouraged, and children are rescued!
Thanks to a generous family of donors, every dollar donated by partners just like you through September 30 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.
This means every dollar you donate by September 30, up to $100,000, will be stretched twice as far, helping serve more moms and rescue even more children from abortion.
Your gift, which will be doubled, is a great way to help a mom like Deanna by letting her know there is a better life for her and her preborn child.
By giving a gift this month, you are not only investing in women who need to know they are not alone, but in the lives of their children, like Major.
John: Will you give today, doubling the reach of your gift and helping women like Deanna and their preborn children?
Thank you for your support, and God bless,
Brian Fisher,
President
