It was early summer. The call came in from a grandmother whose great grandchild was going to be aborted. She lived in South Carolina, our center was located in North Carolina. ‘I need to bring my granddaughter there but I don’t have gas money to come and return. ‘
The receptionist told her ‘you get her here and we will give you a gas card. ‘ She arrived later that morning as a walk in and our sonographer showed her the life inside the womb. The young lady was still abortion determined when she left our setting. We gave her a $25 gas card as promised and they returned home.
We did not hear anything for months and assumed our efforts to save a life were in vain. However in late January of the next year, this excited voice on the other end of the line declared, “I just called to tell you that I have a great grandson born yesterday. I don’t know if you all remember me but I brought her there last June for an appointment and you gave me gas to return home. Thank you for saving by great grandbaby’s life.”
For the last 17 years our baby bottle blessing campaign has yielded great response and the average bottle totals $28.00. We were able to save a life by giving a gas card. Thanks for giving those $28 dollar gifts.
