Support Through Pregnancy and Beyond

A common question that pregnancy centers often face—whether from supporters or critics of the pro-life movement—is how we continue to support a woman after she chooses to keep her child. It’s a valid question, especially for faith-based providers who are called to love and serve others in tangible ways.

Choosing Life: A Story of Hope and Courage

Choosing Life: A Story of Hope & Courage

This February, one of our clients welcomed a healthy baby into the world, and others are courageously choosing life for their babies!

Our team met with one woman in particular who had just discovered she was pregnant. Initially feeling scared and overwhelmed, abortion seemed like her only option. But after her appointment, she left with the help and hope she needed to choose LIFE for her baby.

Here’s what she had to say:

“I came in today and you ladies made me feel so supported and loved. I was so nervous about my pregnancy and everything that comes with being pregnant and y’all relieved so much stress off my back. I felt as if I was around family and I can’t thank y’all enough for the love you showed me today. I will refer anyone I know that needs help or guidance to Alcove and I will 100% be back throughout my pregnancy.”

We know that it is only through God’s grace, and your unwavering support, that we are able to walk alongside these women during such a pivotal moment in their lives. Thank you for making this journey possible.

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.

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.

When Going Above and Beyond Makes All the Difference

When Going Above and Beyond Makes a Difference

Although the clinic is open during daytime hours, our nurses and advocates frequently serve vulnerable women around the clock to support themin their time of need.

One example of this happened this week! On Tuesday, one of our advocates received an after hours call from a client in a very dangerous situation and in need of an escape. The team immediately collaborated to find a safe place for this client and one of our advocates personally drove this young woman, late in the night, to get her to a maternity home and away from harm. For our team to be able to connect this woman to a maternity home in less than 24 hours was a miracle in itself! Typically, the maternity homes in Virginia are continuously booked and working on a wait list. Yet, God provided an opening the exact same day this woman reached out for help.

Our team consistently gives above and beyond every week to support women as they navigate hard circumstances in their pursuit to choose LIFE for their babies!

Your support of this mission helps us continue to connect vulnerable clients in our area to the practical and spiritual help and hope they need. Please pray with us for the continued safety, protection, and health of this client and her baby.

Twice as Sweet:

Welcoming These Beautiful Newborn Twins

There is something incredibly special about newborn photo sessions—the tiny details, the soft snuggles, the quiet moments. But recently all of that was doubled when we captured these moments for a set of twin girls you helped this past year.

Breanna, Jeffrey, and Baby Luca

There’s something special about capturing love in its purest form—and that’s exactly what happened during this beautiful family photo session with Breanna, Jeffrey, and their adorable baby, Luca.

The family showed up in perfectly coordinated outfits, looking stylish and connected. Breanna’s soft smile, Jeffrey’s proud gaze, and Luca’s sweet giggles made every photo feel like a warm hug.

These are the kinds of memories that last a lifetime. 💛
