Rescues

On the streets, for the babies.

I stand where moms are making the hardest decision of their lives, and I offer them love, truth and a way forward.

Babies rescued since 2015
How a rescue happens

Love, truth, and a way home

1

On the sidewalk

I'm outside the facility when the cars pull in. Nashville, Carbondale, Granite City, St. Louis, Memphis, DC, Los Angeles, Asheville, Bristol, Dayton, and wherever a church invites me.

2

The conversation

I share the hope of Jesus and the value of the child she's carrying. Sometimes we give the baby a name right there on the sidewalk.

3

The help

Tires and gas money for the drive home. A deposit. A maternity home. Whatever it takes for her to leave the mother of a living child.

Every rescue costs something

Help a mom get home

Gas money, tires, a deposit, a crib. When a mom chooses life on the sidewalk, she often needs help that same day.
