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!
