Next Generation of Pro-Lifers

These enterprising kids prove that age is just a number when it comes to making a difference:

German Shepherd PuppyA teenage donor, and Walk for Life regular, made a generous gift of $500 to the Center. He raised the remarkable sum after his German Shepherd had puppies and the family decided to adopt them out. He generously chose to give the money earned back to God by donating to the Pregnancy Help Center, one of his favorite nonprofits.

Three siblings, Norah, Matthew, and Judah, raised $400 for the Center by running a 5K hosted by their homeschool co-op .  According to Norah, they chose to support the Pregnancy Help Center because, “We want to use our physical abilities to help others see how God loves and treasures babies in their mother's womb, and how precious that life is to Him.”
