Giving Tuesday 2024

As we prepare for Thanksgiving, we’re so thankful for the community around us. Your generosity and dedication to the mission and work of Care Net Peninsula have allowed us to provide hundreds of local women each year with the help and hope they need to choose LIFE for their babies.

Giving Tuesday is right around the corner, and we invite you this year to join us in taking a stand for life by providing the women we serve with ONE free options-counseling session. 

$128

While our team of nurses discuss the medical implications and physical risks of abortion, our team of advocates – through the options counseling session – discuss the emotional, relational, and spiritual implications of abortion.  

But who better to tell you about these sessions than our advocates themselves. Listen to Jenn, one of our Senior Client Advocates, as she shares what she loves about these sessions.

So mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 3, and together, we can continue to provide women with FREE options counseling sessions so they receive the help and hope they need when it matters most.

What Is An Options Counseling Session?

But there’s one service that seems to many of our donors as, well, mysterious. We use words like “safe space” and “lovingkindness” when we discuss our services, but what exactly is this thing we call an “Options Counseling Session?”

Why Early Medical Services Are Critical For Pregnant Women

WHY EARLY MEDICAL SERVICES ARE CRITICAL FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

When a woman is facing an unplanned pregnancy and needs to talk through her options, she typically has three choices: the abortion pill online, an abortion clinic, or Care Net Peninsula’s free medical clinic —Alcove Health.

At Alcove Health we provide women with medical support and also spiritual, emotional, and holistic care —something that can be lacking in medical facilities due to time constraints.

As the Medical Director for Alcove Health, I oversee the medical aspects of the clinic and review each ultrasound. I’m not personally in the room with each patient, but I serve alongside Alcove’s team of licensed Registered Nurses who have received specialized sonography and abortion education training.
 
On top of their medical skills and knowledge, this team of Nurses is passionate about their work and genuinely wants to help each woman they meet, even when that means going above and beyond to care for their clients.

Our Registered Nurses:

Meg, RN, BSN

We provide medically accurate information detailing the fetal development of their baby. We also clarify the different types of abortion and what occurs in each procedure. We never encourage abortion, but we do explain the reality and risks of these procedures so women can make an informed decision. Our prayer is for each client to choose life for her baby.

The most critical component of our medical consultation is the ultrasound. The world around us tells women that an ultrasound isn’t essential —that it is easier not knowing details, and that it’s too invasive. But the truth is, ultrasounds can not only be life-saving for the baby, but life-changing for the moms by providing necessary medical information they need before taking their next step. Simply put, an ultrasound provides answers.

With each ultrasound, our nurses look for the following three things that are vital to a woman’s decision:

1. Location of the Pregnancy
This year alone, I have reviewed the scans of three women experiencing an ectopic pregnancy outside the uterus. If left undetected, they can rupture, leading to internal bleeding and even death. Because of early medical intervention, these clients received the treatment they needed in time.
 
2. Fetal Heart Rate
It is essential to know if the pregnancy is viable, regardless of whether a client is planning on carrying the baby to term or planning to have an abortion.
 
3. Gestational Age
Pregnant women can get a rough idea of how far along they are by calculating the time from the first day of their menstrual period (LMP). However, our nurses obtain measurements from the ultrasounds for a more accurate determination. 
 
For women considering abortion, this determines what options for termination are available and how our nurses consult with her. It also reveals the humanity of the baby developing in her womb.
 
Too often, our nurses hear clients say things like, “Why didn’t anyone tell me it would look like a baby?”, “There is already a heartbeat?”, or “It’s moving!”. The ultrasound is a window into the womb for our clients, revealing life forming right in front of their eyes and debunking the narrative that the baby is not yet a person.
 
I stand firmly behind Care Net Peninsula and the work we do to provide help and hope to women facing unplanned pregnancies. I know across the organization, this is a team of passionate Christ followers ready to support life, and I especially know that my team of nurses is prepared to meet every obstacle thrown their way to be able to minister and help the woman sitting in their ultrasound room.
 
When you support Care Net Peninsula, you are supporting the only local pregnancy center providing life-affirming medical services.

172 Lives Saved this Year, Thanks to You!

172 Lives Saved this Year - Thanks to You!

As we lean into this season of thanks, our hearts are bursting with gratitude over the abundance of women served and lives saved in 2024. Already, we’ve served nearly as many women this year than throughout all of 2023—and there are still two months to go! Here’s a look at some of this year’s accomplishments:

  • 854 Women served 
  • 172 Minds changed (women who were considering abortion but chose life)
  • 463 Women receiving essential items to care for their babies

While these numbers and growth are inspiring, our focus remains, as Jesus taught, on each individual—the one who walks through our doors feeling hopeless, believing abortion is her only option in an unplanned pregnancy; the one facing crisis upon crisis with no one to turn to.

Make a Gift Today

Because of you, she finds someone who listens, who offers hope and practical resources that make a real difference in her time of need. Thanks to you, lives are changed. Thanks to you, lives are being saved. Please continue to pray for the women that will come to us in the next weeks.
