Sarah (not her real name) felt young. Much too young to have a baby. She just moved to the U.S. from another country. Sarah’s boyfriend lived in another state. And they’d only been together for a few months.
Termination felt like her only option.
When Sarah searched online for an abortion provider, a telehealth appointment was available for her right away. She clicked through to book the time.
Soon after, Sarah met online with a nurse and shared her concerns about her crisis. The nurse’s calm, reassuring voice quieted Sarah’s storm: “I’m here to help. What do you need?”
The nurse gently suggested that Sarah come into one of Caring Networks clinics to receive a free medical grade pregnancy test and ultrasound. Sarah nervously agreed. Soon after, Sarah timidly stepped through our clinic’s doors. But her mind raced, immediately returning to the dark memories of her past abortion. A decision she regrets, as it was “painful, emotionally.”
However, this clinic’s environment was completely different from the cold, sterile environment of her previous abortion provider. That’s when Sarah felt a flood of peace quiet her tumultuous thoughts, and she felt the sense that all was going to be okay.
On that day, Sarah met in person with the nurse and received her promised ultrasound.
Sarah was offered a full network of support for her pregnancy journey. And she remembers that afterward she felt “happy and like continuing with the pregnancy.”
Months down the road, when Sarah finally gave birth to her precious baby, the Caring Network nurse she met with at her initial appointment was one of the first to hear the good news. And Sarah shared that she gave her child a name with a very special and unique meaning.
Sarah’s story of hope is being played out again and again for other women, thanks to supporters like you. And your generosity is a pivotal part of the stories unfolding here.
However, when a woman is facing an unexpected pregnancy and searching online for help, we must reach her first. Abortion providers like Planned Parenthood are investing heavily in online advertising to come to the top of search results.
But with your help, we can be the calm in someone’s storm, providing the reassurance and support she needs to carry her baby to term.
The reality is that if a woman searches online and chooses an abortion clinic to go to first, fewer than 10% will choose life. Yet, if a woman chooses to come to Caring Network first, more than 65% will choose life.
It’s for this very reason that we must reach her before she visits an abortion clinic or orders abortion pills online. Please give today to help invest in online advertising using the same search words women do when looking for solutions to their unexpected pregnancy.
Your support will also open the door to a free ultrasound and a full network of support that will give women hope that they can continue their pregnancy journey, linked arm-in-arm with others who care. Most of all, you’ll give a woman the chance to encounter Jesus’ unfailing love as she walks forward on the path of choosing life for her baby.
