Important Appeal for
Volunteer Drivers to get Moms in Crisis
in for Life-Saving
Ultrasounds! And more...
Attention Pro-Life Friends in Washtenaw
County and Beyond!
There is a great need in southeast Michigan to help
Moms experiencing crisis pregnancies, and I am absolutely sure that you
would want to hear about it. Praise God, more and more Moms in crisis
are turning away from abortion and choosing LIFE. I was recently touched
by an appeal from Guadalupe Partners for drivers, as
they had five abortion minded moms in one day who needed rides to get life
changing, eye opening ultrasounds.
Below you will find an appeal from Anne with
Guadalupe Partners for volunteers who would be willing to drive Moms to
appointments regularly or just occasionally, along with some other needs. Please
prayerfully consider how you can help or perhaps you know of someone who you
could share this email with.
A few weeks ago I was really blessed by the
opportunity to go pick up and drive an abortion-dissuaded mom and her
lovely two year old daughter to Dr Flemings office at St Joe’s Hospital in Ann
Arbor for a free ultrasound. I really felt like I was the one on the
receiving end. It was a small gesture on my part, with a huge
benefit.
In the next few days, I will be
sending you some exciting information about sidewalk counseling and a
save at the A2 Planned Parenthood. I will also be telling you
about the dedication of a new ultrasound machine.
Thank you ALL for ALL you do
for LIFE! Blessings,
Sandie Weathers, Pro-Life Action Network
Appeal
from Anne Mitzel of Guadalupe Partners:
Guadalupe
Partners is
a partnership of pro-life people who help abortion-minded women to make
life-affirming choices. Many women (praise God!) have been turning away
from the abortion mills. The Partners make a commitment to help the
mothers with financial, material, transportation and other needs, often without
knowing with certainty where the resources will come from. That is why we need your
help.
Most Urgent Need: Transportation to ultrasound or other doctor’s appointments. We need to get the mothers (and sometimes their other small children) from Detroit to an ultrasound or other doctor's appointment, either at St. Joe's in Ypsi or one of the pregnancy centers in Detroit. One day this spring, we had five mothers who needed to go to an ultrasound on the same day! Thank God, Alicia was able to find enough drivers, but we could use more people who are willing to be called on a regular or occasional basis. An ultrasound, as many of you know, is often the first connection that an abortion-minded woman makes with her baby.
Delivery of large and small items. We often receive generous donations of beds, appliances, and furniture for our mothers, but we need strong volunteers with vehicles who can transport the items to the mothers' homes. In addition, we often have smaller deliveries of things like diapers, groceries, and clothing.

Organizing
and cataloging donated items. The generous donations we receive
often cannot be put to use until they are sorted and labeled.
Handyman jobs. Sometimes the help involves maintenance or construction labor - home repair, painting, installation. If you have a particular expertise or are just good at manual labor, we would like to be able to call on you when a need arises.
Emotional support. Material needs are not always the issue - the mothers can feel lonely, overwhelmed, or abandoned. We need to encourage them to choose life again and again, day by day. If you are willing to spend some time helping a mom do chores, driving her on her errands, watching children, or just talking about kids or relationships or God, we can use your help as well.

Guadalupe
Partners has
no paid staff and no office space. We store baby items in our basements
and transport furniture in Edmund's trailer. We all have regular jobs and
family commitments, but we go to Detroit because we can see the
transformation of women's lives when they allow themselves to trust God and
love their babies. Sometimes Edmund and Alicia drive
into Detroit 3-4 times a week - we need more manpower so that we can
support all these moms who choose life!
Please keep us in your prayers and contact us if you are able to help in any way, however small!
