Imagine the pregnant woman who doesn’t
know what to choose.
Today, she’s calling you for help, not judgment.
Every baby saved is a life written in the Book of Life.
You already know the anxious math she’s doing — diapers, childcare, a crib — a child can feel unaffordable when unexpected.
This isn’t just about money- she’s feeling stretched beyond her capacity. She may be married with three young children, or she might be facing motherhood alone for the first time. Either way, she doesn’t know how to move forward.
She’s calling for help because she doesn’t know who she can really count on.
Her fear is real. Your gift can change that.
