When Alejandra* came to one of our pregnancy centers, she wanted information about abortion.
Her medical history was complicated. As she talked with our team, she shared her concerns honestly — about her health, her energy, and whether her body could handle another pregnancy. Overwhelmed by the unknowns in front of her, Alejandra wasn’t sure what she should do next.
Because of your support, Alejandra was met with compassion, patience, and care — and she was able to receive an ultrasound.
On the screen, she saw the unmistakable sign of life — a tiny heartbeat, steady and strong. Then she noticed something else. The shape of her uterus curved gently around her baby, forming what looked unmistakably like a heart.
In that moment, something shifted.
Seeing both the heartbeat and that heart-shaped space where her baby was growing gave Alejandra the clarity she had been searching for. She took a deep breath and made her decision — she chose to continue the pregnancy.
Before she left, her Patient Advocate asked if she would like prayer. Alejandra said yes. Because you made this moment possible, she left feeling seen, supported, and wrapped in the love of Christ.
Sometimes love shows up in unexpected ways. For Alejandra, it showed up in the most literal way possible — a heart, holding life.
