Last Thursday, the 22nd of January, I received a call from a crisis pregnancy center. Only a few days before I had sent a note introducing myself and an idea we had to partner with them.
“…We are wondering if there is a need and interest at Options to provide short-term housing for women in your care who are pregnant or caring for a newborn. We are able to donate a portion of the rent as well as partner through our non-profit ministry to make required additional costs very small. We can also provide encouragement and emotional support.”
The director of the center had a family in mind that desperately needs help. They have been praying and rejoiced at the news of this offer.
Later that evening I spoke with “T” who has a little baby girl and is six months pregnant. She and her husband are functionally homeless. So we are providing them with a home for the next 12 months.
I look forward to sharing more about this amazing story. The director of the center ended our conversation with the statement “you will be blessed”. We are.
We will be compiling a list of items this young family needs over the next days and weeks. If you would like to support them in any way, please let me know. You will be blessed.
