In the face of unexpected challenges, sometimes all we need is a guiding light. This is a story about Lisa, a brave mom who found hope and support in her darkest hour, and how her decision to choose life brought immeasurable joy to her family.
Late one night, overwhelmed and seeking an abortion due to multiple health issues, Lisa reached out to Options United. She was scared and uncertain, not knowing where to turn. But that call changed everything. Our compassionate staff connected Lisa with a local pregnancy center, offering the emotional and practical support she desperately needed.
Reflecting on this pivotal moment, Lisa shared her heartfelt gratitude: “My husband and I are still so grateful we had you there for us when you were. I’d love to tell you everything!” As Lisa and her husband navigated this unexpected journey, they discovered a new kind of joy. Lisa recounted, “Having a baby this late in life was not what we would have picked, but it is definitely the very thing we needed.”
Their baby girl, Gypsy, quickly became the heart of their family. Lisa described how her arrival transformed their lives: “Her brothers love her so much. My husband has really embraced being a girl dad and I’m happy and proud of myself. That’s not always been the case.” Gypsy is now surrounded by the world’s happiest parents and brothers, all adoring her and cherishing every moment. “She’s just the biggest of deals around here,” Lisa proudly shared.
She went on to express her deep appreciation for the support she received during such a crucial time:
“You’re our angel. I don’t want to think what would happen had we not connected at that scary dark moment.” Looking towards the future, Lisa is filled with hope and excitement for Gypsy’s life ahead.
“We will raise a sweet, smart, loving, and giving daughter to make the world just as beautiful as she’s made our world. She’s a light and I have no doubt she’ll shine for a lifetime.”
Lisa’s story is a testament to the impact of Options United and pregnancy help centers. By providing support and hope, we can help families like Lisa’s embrace life and find joy even in the most challenging circumstances.
Together, we can continue to make a difference, one life at a time.
