“HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SAVE A LIFE?
$137.00 ..THIS DAY !”
Psalms 41:1 “How blessed is he who care for
the helpless”.
April 21, 2015
A
few minutes later, the mother and daughter came back out and into our
van where we were able to view little “
Kelsey”, where she was
auditioning for her life. We convinced them not to kill her and took
action. Daniel set up her physician appointment and took them to
our staff obstetrician to reassure them the baby was okay from the prepping
of her scheduled abortion. We continued to support her and
made sure she got to her doctor appointments and had clothing and
much needed baby supplies, and tried to keep in touch after the baby.
Now, here I was again, six years later, looking into those beautiful
tear filled eyes once again.
Timing
was perfect; Daniel came inside and I reintroduced him to Brittney and
he was shocked. He spoke
quietly to her as I helped the first girl outside. Then I came back
inside and said, "I
love you like a daughter, this is going to kill me", and I
began cleaning the equipment , when all the sudden, Brittney put her
arms around me and started crying "Then I won't do it, I won't do it!" I
held her for a long time crying and professing our love and support for
her and her baby. Daniel inquired how much she paid to start the
abortion? “$137.00”, she
said. We were all crying at
this point. She told us she works two shifts to make ends meet . We
came outside the ultrasound van and looked at her vehicle. It
was bad, really old car with rope and tape holding things together, but
it gets her back and forth. We
prayed . Another prayer warrior was witnessing all this and taking it
in. We decided to try and
get as much of her money back as we could. “Would
this help you “? “Yes”,
she said, then all four of us pooled our money on hand and came up with
approx $70.00
dollars . We promised by weeks end, we would get her the rest.
We would help her with other needs as well,. and be on the look
out for a better car , her’s was pitiful. We hugged her and exchanged
contact numbers . Her pregnant friend was sitting in the car smiling
with tears rolling down her cheeks. I
thanked her for bringing her out, and for saving both babies. Brittney
promised to call us when she got back home. She hugged me and asked me
if I was okay, she was concerned. J “Of
course”, I kissed her cheek
and a tight hug back. "I
love you". I
remembered a website for another Metro East pregnancy center that
advertises itself as a "health center" only doing pregnancy test/ ultrasounds. No
other assistance. Options
Now in Godfrey/ Alton, Illinois, states on website that it cost $1200.00
a day to save a baby -send us donations ect.. well, today, we
had busted that myth with door buster prices. HA!!
$137.00 saved just this one child's life this day. We
went on to rejoice with 5
babies saved in all and 3
ultrasounds I apologize this
is sooo long, but, I don't know how to stop loving on mothers and their
babies . I don't know anything else, but to love and to share that love
to those who didn't think they were even worthy of love. Unconditonal
love. It's not perfect . Coming
from someone who was never taught how to love. This is what we do, this
is my life. What is so troubling is why can’t others reach out and
help? You understand why women feel abortion is their only option when
legalism and policies and empty promises go unfulfilled. Jesus is the
real deal. When you put your walk with your talk, it saves lives and
empowers women. “How
does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a
brother or sister in need and yet refuses to help?” 1

I
asked her "what
would it take to save this baby? Could I do anything for her"?
She kept her head down but kept looking over trying to ignore me, but
God told me to keep trying. "Did you get to see your baby on the ultrasound?" I
asked her, this got her attention. She whispered "No”, "Would you like
to see your baby"? she looked over thinking,.."It won't take but 5
min", I said.
