Fort Walton Beach Center for Women

We would like to invite our community to come alongside one of our clients in prayer and support during an incredibly difficult time.

Sara Jean is a loving mother to a 5-month-old baby and has recently received a cancer diagnosis. As she begins to navigate what lies ahead, she is doing so while caring for her little one and facing many unknowns for her family.

We are asking for prayers for her strength, peace, and healing, and for her family as they walk through this together. We also pray for comfort in the hard days ahead and hope for the journey in front of them.

For those who feel led and are able to help, we have created an Amazon registry with items that will provide practical support during this time. Every gift, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and remind her that she is not alone.

If you would like to support her in this way, please use the link below:

Thank you for surrounding her and her family with love, prayer, and kindness.

Because of our incredible community, lives are being impacted every single day.

A heartfelt thank you to the men of Resurrection Church (MORE) for their generous diaper donations, to Sunrise Church for hosting a diaper drive, and to the Women at the Well Bible Study at Cornerstone Church for providing computers that are helping us run more smoothly and efficiently in an increasingly digital world.

We have also been blessed with additional gifts through our Amazon registry, including a Pixel tablet, which will allow us to offer translation services and provide a mobile way to go over classes and class options with moms, as well as many much needed baby items.

Please know that every single donation is used daily or has already been placed in the hands of a mother in need. Your generosity is not sitting on a shelf, it is actively changing lives.
Thank you for standing beside us and for being part of this community effort to support women and families. We truly could not do this without you.

At Fort Walton Beach Center for Women, we believe no woman should walk through pregnancy alone. You can call or text us to make an appointment or get connected with Embrace Grace. Together, we are here to support you…

At the core of our group is the belief that an unexpected pregnancy is not a mistake, or something that will ruin your life, or something to regret. A baby is and will always be a blessing, BUT babies are hard, and our stories can be messy. And when you’re going through the hard, we are here to support you with real, tangible help and love.

Truths we are speaking over you today:
✨You are not alone.
✨You are loved and valued.
✨You are more than your past.
✨You will overcome this season.
✨You can have your dreams and your baby, too.

Our next group starts this Wednesday, Jan 21 at 6pm at First Baptist Church FWB. We have a place saved just for you 💖
