“I’m keeping my baby.” — pregnancy test/ultrasound patient

This young woman came to Bright Hope feeling unsure and abortion-vulnerable. As a college student, she and her boyfriend felt overwhelmed by the timing and the financial responsibilities of becoming parents.

After meeting with a caring client advocate and our certified ultrasound technician, she decided to continue her pregnancy and shared that she feels supported and better prepared with help from her parents.

We’re thankful for supporters who help spread the word about Bright Hope and the services we offer. Joe Vichot recently appeared as a guest on the “As I Walk Through the Valley” podcast, hosted by Rabbi Moshe Kurtz of Congregation Sons of Israel in Allentown.

Their conversation included a discussion of two local organizations Joe is involved with: Bright Hope and Cay Galgon Life House in Bethlehem.

“A woman who is struggling with making the decision to keep their baby — why not give them an opportunity to do just that?” Joe said. “Why not show them that life that is growing in them right now is as important as any other life on this earth?”

The discussion about Bright Hope and Cay Galgon begins at 17:43 of the podcast episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0VyUNI93PJ3FjQRdypFxGq

“I am very thankful for Bright Hope for being there to start me on my journey.” — pregnancy test/ultrasound patient

This patient came to us wanting to continue her pregnancy but facing circumstances that made her especially vulnerable to having an abortion. She was living with her grandparents after leaving an unsafe situation and felt overwhelmed by the timing of her pregnancy.

Through supportive conversations with our patient advocates, she was able to think through her options and take next steps with confidence. During a follow-up call, she shared the encouraging news that she had secured health insurance and an OB-GYN — bringing renewed hope for her future and her baby’s.

"I'm really thankful I landed in your office. You helped me see the true decision I wanted to make for me ... I keep you in my prayers for the work that you're doing. You're saving lives, and not just the lives of the babies but of the moms who are in turmoil with everything they're going through while trying to make a decision." — pregnancy test patient

This mom came to Bright Hope feeling overwhelmed and panicked. With four older children and an unexpected pregnancy, she wasn’t sure where to turn. Our compassionate client advocate talked with her about her options, including adoption.

She ultimately chose to parent. Sadly, a few weeks later, she experienced the loss of her baby. She plans to honor him on his due date as part of her healing process.

There’s still time to make your best year-end gift. Please consider donating today to help us continue providing life-affirming, compassionate care to women and families who need it most. brighthopepartners.org/year-end-giving
