Ava* is just beginning to build her life. She has a steady boyfriend, Kurt. But after one night of poor decisions, she learned she was pregnant, and she wasn’t certain who the father was.
When she confessed the affair to Kurt, he urged her to have an abortion. They are both in their early twenties, and because the baby might not be his, he insisted, “Abortion is the most convenient option.”
Ava wasn’t convinced. Searching online for guidance, she found CompassCare and scheduled an office appointment the next day. When a compassionate nurse gently asked, “How do you feel?” Ava admitted she was overwhelmed with fear and anxiety.
The ultrasound revealed a healthy baby. Then the nurse asked Ava about her faith. Ava sighed deeply. She had grown up in a dysfunctional home—one parent an addict, the other emotionally absent. As the nurse spoke about God’s unconditional love, Ava prayed and surrendered her life to Jesus.
With quiet resolve, she said, “Yes, I believe God is in complete control.”
The nurse connected Ava with a mentoring mom who met with her regularly and encouraged her. At a follow-up appointment weeks later, Ava shared that her anxiety had eased. Smiling, she said, “I 100% want this baby. I know it’s going to be okay.”
Hearing a heartbeat.
Seeing a baby on a screen.
Being prayed for by a compassionate nurse.
Receiving encouragement from a mentor.
This is what happens every single day in six medical offices across New York State. You can make this possible for a monthly gift of just $47, providing a woman, like Ava, the lifesaving medical care and hope to save her baby in America’s abortion capital.

Abortion is a true tsunami of death rolling over our world. The question is whether our nation will continue to participate in it. No one but the people of God can and will rise up like Nehemiah after hearing reports of how the walls of Jerusalem were torn down and burned with fire. Read more.
