Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
the fruit of the womb a reward.

A message from Executive Director, Roberta Cheek:

Dear Friends of Desert Rose Women's Resource Center,

As we step into a new year, I find myself reflecting with deep gratitude on the legacy we are building together at Desert Rose Women’s Resource Center. Legacy is not just about what we leave behind—it is about what we nurture, strengthen, and pass forward every day.

In 2026, our vision is clear and hopeful. We are committed to growing our reach so we can meet more women where they are, offering support, resources, and encouragement at critical moments in their lives. Every woman who walks through our doors carries a story, and it is our honor to help her discover strength, stability, and possibility for her future.

This coming year, we are also placing a renewed focus on engaging our youth. By creating meaningful opportunities for young people to connect, learn, and serve, we are investing in the next generation of leaders and advocates. When youth understand the power of compassion and community early on, they become an essential part of a legacy that lasts.

Our work has always been rooted in connection—across generations, across experiences, and across hope. As we grow in 2026, we will continue to honor the foundation that brought us here while boldly expanding what is possible for the women and families we serve.

Thank you for being part of the Desert Rose story. Your support, belief, and partnership make this legacy real and alive. Together, we are not only changing lives today—we are shaping a stronger, more compassionate tomorrow.

With gratitude and hope for the year ahead,

Roberta Cheek
Executive Director

Our schedule is filling up next week because women are calling after an unplanned positive pregnancy test—scared, uncertain, and unsure of what comes next. Many are reaching out while others are celebrating Christmas with family. https://bit.ly/4oB0KtL

At Desert Rose Women’s Resource Center, crisis doesn’t pause for the holidays. Because of generous donors, we remain available 24/7 to answer calls, make appointments, and meet women exactly where they are in their most vulnerable moments.

In 2025, we’ve already seen a 58% increase in patients coming in for appointments—a powerful reminder that the need for compassionate, life-affirming care is growing rapidly.

As we close out the year, we are working to reach our $80,000 year-end goal so we can continue meeting this rising demand without interruption. Your year-end gift directly ensures that no woman who reaches out for help is turned away. https://bit.ly/4oB0KtL

Thank you for standing with women when it matters most—and for helping make hope possible in the year ahead. ❤️

Long ago, an exhausted young couple faced uncertainty, judgment, and fear as they prepared to welcome their first child into the world.

Today, many moms and dads walk a similar road, feeling alone, out of options, and unsure of where to turn.

With your help, we offer a different story: one of hope, compassion, and support for every man, woman, and child.

There is always room here. ❤️

Partner with us to give hope today, https://bit.ly/4oB0KtL

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we come to the close of another year, we are filled with gratitude as we reflect on the strength, resilience, and generosity that continue to define Desert Rose Women’s Resource Center. This year has been one of growth, transformation, and renewed commitment to the women and families we serve—and a powerful reminder that meaningful change happens when a community stands together with compassion and purpose.

Throughout 2025, we witnessed women take courageous steps toward safety, healing, and independence. Whether through support services, educational workshops, vital resources, or simply finding a safe place to be heard, each story reaffirmed why our mission matters. Every life touched—every heart encouraged—is possible because of your support.

We are deeply proud of our staff, volunteers, and partners whose dedication made this year’s impact possible. We also celebrated several milestones together, including:

-The grand opening of our Baby Boutique, providing essential baby supplies to families at no cost
-Our 16th Annual Fall for Life Banquet, where we unveiled our Legacy Tree and honored faithful supporters
-A meaningful Life and Liberty Dinner with Lt. Col. Allen West
-Our most successful Golf Fore Life Tournament to date

Because of your support, this year we saw:
-A 53% increase in appointments made
-25% of abortion-minded women change their hearts
-A 38% increase in web traffic, allowing us to reach more women than ever before

Every day, our staff and volunteers meet with women facing unplanned pregnancies—offering real information, compassionate care, and hope. Your generosity helps women choose life, not only for their unborn children, but for their own futures as well.

As we look ahead to 2026, we remain committed to expanding our reach, strengthening our programs, and continuing to meet women where they are—with empathy, respect, and unwavering support. There is still much work to be done, but together, we are building a community where women are empowered to rise, heal, and thrive.

On behalf of everyone at Desert Rose Women’s Resource Center, thank you for walking alongside us. We wish you and your loved ones a peaceful holiday season and a hopeful, healthy new year.
