We have an immediate need in our community. During the past 6 months we have received an alarming increase (4x more than in 2008) in the number of expectant mothers who are asking us for help.  Most have recently lost their jobs and housing.  Many are older mothers already caring for multiple children.  They are single and without resources to financially provide for their babies or themselves.

A few will marry the fathers and become a family earlier than expected. Most will be scared and not know what to do.  Some will abort their babies.  Some will take time to think about their options. 

Bethany is called to help these expectant women by providing options with MORE LOVE!  So far this year we have served 40 expectant mothers.  If needed funding becomes available we estimate we will serve about 80 expectant mothers in 2009.  

From our experience with thousands of expectant mothers, providing MORE LOVE helps them sort through their options. We encourage each woman to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of her child and herself.

To provide for the needs of these expectant mothers in our community, I need your support.   I’m starting with my personal gift of $500.  Will you join me with a gift before December 31, 2009 to help raise $50,000?
