"You helped me in 2013. I kept my child. She is almost
four and is the best thing that has happened to me.
Your advice changed my life.

"Unfortunately, I am in the same place again.
I am considering abortion for a third time. . . . My daughter
wants a sibling and I loved my experience with her.
I just don’t know what to do. Please help, again." – Monique

Dear Friend,

You helped save Monique’s daughter by making us available to her

But, as you can see, our work never ends. Monique, like so many others we have helped, needs ongoing support.

Women like Monique come to AfterAbortion.org, or our other websites, for many reasons. They’re worried about the risks of abortion. Or they want to know how to heal from a past abortion. Or they want to avoid an abortion that they've been told is their “only choice.”

Many email us. Everyone gets a personal response.

The result? There is no doubt. We are saving lives. And, God willing, even helping to save souls.

But our work is getting harder.

Your Help is Urgently Needed!

Our fiscal year ended on June 30th and the final numbers are in.

Our total donations were down from $103,144 in the previous year to just $75,279. That’s a decline of $27,847.

Even after slashing expenses to just $95,624——for two employees, office and supplies——we are still $20,000 in the red.

This is why we urgently need to raise at least $25,000 in the next six weeks.

With under 300 people on our mailing list . . . we need your help. We can reach that goal with 60 gifts of $50, 20 gifts of $100, 10 gifts of $500, 5 gifts of $1000, and 2 gifts of $5000.

Please give today.

In Addition to Giving, Please Ask!

Please ask friends, family, co-workers, or your church charitable committee to support our ministry.

Certainly you know someone else with a pro-woman/pro-life heart who will recognize the importance of our ministry.

Please ask a sister, mother, friend and a co-worker to each donate $50 or $100.

Please Partner With Us. Ask Four Others to Help.

Do you remember selling pizza, candles and Christmas cards to support yours or your kids’ teams or schools? The people you know are willing to support a good cause . . .

Isn’t our work as important?

Some will donate just because you asked. Others will eventually become some of our best donors——thankful that you brought our small ministry to their attention.

Explain how we are a small charity doing incredibly important work. Tell them you would consider it a personal favor for them to step up and help our truly unique ministry:

No one else has published over twenty peer reviewed medical journal articles showing that abortion hurts women. And no one else is hosting the world’s most visited website on abortion complications and resources for post-abortion healing, which draws women like Monique to visit our site looking for help.

We are needed. We are saving lives. We are making a difference. We need your help . . . and the help of the people you know who can truly make a difference.

So here's what to do next ...

First, give today. Your tax deductible gift of $50, $100, $500, or $5000 will literally reach millions of people this year through AfterAbortion.org alone.

Second, make a list of the four people you’re going to ask to support us, too. I know it feels awkward. But you’re doing it for Monique, and others like her, who truly need us.

Then, figure out how you are going to tell them about our work. Send them a link to our Facebook page and ask them to like us. Point them to our web site, especially our 25+ Years Report on what we are doing and this downloadable brochure about our ministry. Or, if you prefer to do things "the old fashioned way," contact us by email and we'll be happy to mail you some brochures to share with others.

Thank you so much for helping teach others about our ministry! By doing so, you’re sharing the Good News. Christ’s mercy is healing souls and saving lives. Together, we are His ambassadors.

Sincerely yours for Life in Christ
David C. Reardon, Ph.D.
