Hundreds of smiles and balloons at Capital Walk for LIFE

Hundreds gathered on May 16th at the West steps of the state capital
to celebrate our annual Capitol Walk for Life.

Several clients shared their stories of how Alternatives has made a huge difference in
the challenges they faced in pregnancy and parenting. They smiled as they
told the crowd gathered about the kindness and care they receive from the
wonderful staff.

I thanked all of those who gathered to support and raise funds so that our services could continue to be plentiful to meet the needs of women and babies in our community.

A courageous PACE graduate shared her testimony of being forgiven and set free from the pain of her past abortion.

I then led all those who gathered in releasing hundreds of balloons up into the sky in remembrance of all those babies who will never take a step on this earth, but are taking steps in heaven, and we then prayed for the hope that one day all babies will be able to take a step here on earth, because abortion will be no more.

It was a day of Joy, remembrance,balloons laughter, tears, and 1000's of steps for Life.

Thank you to everyone who made this day possible.

Every week in our center we witness the miracle of women
deciding to embark on the journey of motherhood.( whether by conscious choice, or
unplanned circumstance) Our hope and prayer is that we do all we can to
lighten the load of this journey by joining hands and hearts with these incredible women.

May each woman who has come into Alternatives look back on her journey and know that
for a short time... someone here held her hand for a short while, so that her heart could
be joined with her child's forever.
