As
you &

I carry on

this month &

next, I hope we

think of the pregnant

girls & women needing

and wanting help w/ giving

birth to their babies.They are

a special source of new life for

our world. They are also the benefi-

ciaries of the work we do, work that

bubbles over & produces more than the

immediate and tangible successes of fund

raising for a pregnancy center or shelter. It is

the delicate & demanding work of establishing,

and championing, the multi-faceted, social support

systems needed for expectant mothers - not only to

bring new life among us, but to have that life sustained

and nurtured

long after its

awe-inspiring

incarnation.

* The St. Gerard Walkathon was an effort to raise money for pregnant girls and women in crisis. Named after the patron saint of expectant mothers, the walkathon generated money for Birthright, a crisis pregnancy counseling center, and Spring House, a transitional home for expectant mothers in crisis.
