A Life Saved.
A Generation
Transformed.
For more than 40 years,
you have been there.
Your gifts have helped Life Network meet families in their most vulnerable moments — saving lives, restoring hope, and setting something in motion that reaches far beyond what any of us can fully see. The children whose lives were saved in those early years are now adults, raising families of their own. What you made possible then is still bearing fruit today.
One family. Two generations. A life still unfolding.
Because of donors like you, Fran had somewhere to turn. She and her husband were students at Colorado Technical University when she became pregnant. He was from Kenya, she was from the Philippines. They had no family nearby and very few resources. She found her way to Life Network and walked in not knowing what to expect.
“It was so embarrassing for me to ask for help,” she says. “But when I saw the welcoming faces, they weren’t judging me at all. Right then and there my anxiety and fears were left at the door.”
“The thing about the center is that caring is a way of life.”
Fran*, Life Network client
Your support made it possible for Life Network to give Fran practical help — baby clothes, bottles, parenting classes — and something harder to put a price on: people who showed up. When Fran and her husband lost their second child at 21 weeks, staff came to the hospital. They attended the memorial service. They stayed.
Fran’s daughter Francine is now 17 and already giving back. She started her own club to build international friendships with girls in underserved communities, traveling to the Philippines last year to continue that work. Francine is one of the children your generosity helped bring into the world. Her story is still being written.
“I feel so indebted to the center,” Fran says. “They were there when I barely had anything.”

PREVENTION
Protecting young lives early
Students and youth learn their God-given value and make decisions that reflect it.
INTERVENTION
Meeting families in crisis
Women and men facing unplanned pregnancies receive no-cost medical care, counseling, and support.
TRANSFORMATION
Building futures that last
Parenting education, healing, and the transformational love of Christ — long after the first visit.
When you make a legacy gift, you sustain all three. A preborn child is given a chance at life. A mother finds the support she needs. And the family they build together carries that care into the next generation.
Gifts that give back to you, too
Some planned gifts do more than save lives and transform families — they also pay you income for life. Our email series walks you through charitable gift annuities and other giving vehicles that benefit both you and the families Life Network serves. Learn more about planned giving.
Leave a Legacy for Life
When you include Life Network in your estate plans, you extend more than 40 years of life-saving work into the future. You stand alongside the donors who have been there since the beginning — and you ensure that families not yet born will have someone to turn to.
Legacy Society members share a conviction that every life is worth saving and that the best is still to come. If you’ve already made a planned gift, or you’re considering it, we’d love to welcome you.
