For almost 40 years, women facing their darkest days—pregnant, afraid, and alone—have found you waiting for them through the ministry of Care Net Peninsula and our free women’s clinic, Alcove Health.
This ministry didn’t happen by accident.
It took sacrifice, commitment, and faithfulness.
And you were faithful.
You stood in the gap, creating a space that rescues both mama and baby. Time and time again, you provided the help and hope she needed to choose life for her baby.
In the five years since COVID, our clinic has doubled the number of clients we serve each year and tripled the number of abortion-minded women we reach. And because of your faithfulness, more than half of the abortion-minded women we served last year chose life for their babies.
This is exactly why you are part of the Care Net Peninsula family. Babies, children, and adults are alive today because of the ministry you’ve built.
Like baby Joey, born this past February. His mom came to our clinic to find out how war along she was, with the intention of aborting him, but in her own words, she “came out choosing life.”
There you are, right in the middle of her and Joey’s story. Because of you, this didn’t become an abortion story—it’s Joey’s story.
His living story
Just before her due date, Joey’s mom wrote to share how much she would’ve missed had she chosen abortion, she and Joey have the life they were meant to share.
As we look ahead, we’re not going to be distracted. We’re staying laser-focused on babies just like Joey, but we have to share about a real threat we see coming to the ministry.
Right now, our General Assembly is in the process to amend our state constitution with a “right to abortion”.
This is a threat to future generations of Virginians: babies, girls, and women. And it’s also a threat to the ministry you’ve invested in all these years.
Care Net Peninsula could land in the crosshairs if this amendment passes: our very mission could be considered unconstitutional right here in Virginia.
Multiple states have made the “right to abortion” a fundamental right; we need only look at them to see the implications for us if this amendment passes.
If this amendment passes, Virginia won’t be safe from this type of overregulation.
You’ve risen to the occasion every time we’ve asked. We needed diapers, you sent us diapers. We needed more staff, you funded new staff positions. When our space limited who we could serve, you gave us a building.
You have faithfully built the ministry of Care Net Peninsula through giving, your time, and your prayers. You’ve loved women, babies, and families well. You’ve loved us, the staff, too.
But what we need from you now is to vote.
On November 4th, Virginia voters will choose the delegates who decide if the “right to abortion”. amendment moves forward. We’re asking you to stand for life at the ballot box.
We pray one day, you’ll look back knowing your investment in Care Net Peninsula has mattered, for thousands of babies, like Joey. But future lives will be threatened or protected by the choices we make today.
Let the lives you’ve already saved—your living legacy—inspire your vote and your continued stand for generations yet to live.
YOUR GIVING MATTERS,
YOUR GIVING SUSTAINS THE MISSION.

For almost 40 years, women facing their darkest days—pregnant, afraid, and alone—have found you waiting for them through the ministry of Care Net Peninsula and our free women’s clinic, Alcove Health.
One of the greatest privileges we have at Care Net Peninsula and Alcove Health is witnessing firsthand the way your generosity changes lives. Every gift you give becomes a lifeline of hope, strength, and encouragement for women right here in our community.
For years, our work has quietly and effectively saved lives. We’ve focused on the woman and baby in front of us, not politics. But today, I must step outside my comfort zone, and maybe yours too, to warn you about a threat that puts everything we do at risk.
Our silence comes at a cost. If this story helps even one man find Jesus, find his voice, or find healing, then it’s worth telling.
