💓 What a gift. It's these little movements that make the mission!
"Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." Lk 6:38
*“I hope this helps just a little.”*
Those were the words written on the note tucked inside an envelope delivered to Prepare for Babies last week.
And then we saw the donation: $847.20
Six weeks ago, a local 8-year-old girl learned the meaning of abortion. She couldn’t shake the heaviness her little heart felt after hearing of this sad reality that exists in our world. So she decided to do something.
She started making potholders.
Her family, friends, church family and community rallied around her—buying potholders, donating supplies, giving money, encouraging her and even helping her weave. Then, she took the **$1,695.45** she raised and donated half to Augusta Care Pregnancy Center and the other half to Prepare for Babies.
We were undone.
On her note, *“I hope this helps just a little.”*
**Oh, sweet girl. If you only knew.**
Your gift is going to help us provide a safe, loving refuge and other kinds of support for pregnant mamas and their babies. Someday, we hope to share stories with you of the lives touched by your gift.
Jesus said, *“Let the little children come to me…for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”* — Matthew 19:14
An 8-year-old girl decided that feeling sad about something wasn't enough—she wanted to help. Allow her to be a reminder to us all of what childlike faith looks like.
She saw a need.
Her heart was moved.
She used what was in her hands.
And she gave with joy.
Imagine what could happen if each of us responded to the needs of vulnerable mothers and babies with that same compassion and obedience.
Thank you to her mama, her pastor, her church family, and every person who purchased a potholder, donated supplies, gave, prayed or encouraged her along the way.
This is the Body of Christ.
This is community.
And this is how we build a culture where **every mother is supported and every child is wanted.** 🩷
And maybe this story is an invitation for the rest of us, too.
You don’t have to do something extraordinary. You simply have to be willing to use what God has placed in your hands.
If this testimony stirred your heart today, would you consider joining her?
**Give a little. Give a lot. Give what you can.** Every gift helps Prepare for Babies say “yes” when a mother facing an unexpected pregnancy needs a safe place, practical support and a community willing to walk alongside her.
Because what feels like *“just a little”* in our hands can become so much more when we offer it with love. 🩷
