Waterleaf Miracle of the Month
Waterleaf, a women's crisis pregnancy center in Aurora, shared their June Miracle of the Month . . .
"Yolanda" came to Waterleaf very uncertain about her future; she was pregnant and already the mother of four. While she was working, her husband was unemployed, and they were struggling financially. She felt abortion to be her best option.
After meeting with her Waterleaf Advocate about the effects of abortion, parenting another child, as well as making an adoption plan, she agreed she had a "lot to think about". We reminded her to wait until we confirmed a viable pregnancy prior to deciding, and she was open to this. She was tearful throughout her appointment and while she agreed adoption was a gift, she struggled with the idea. We checked back in with her a few days later and she indicated that she was still feeling very overwhelmed and they didn't feel ready for another baby.
When Yolanda returned for her second ultrasound, she said that she and her husband were thinking of keeping the baby and were hoping for a girl! After seeing the images on the ultrasound screen, she was even more convinced that keeping the baby was the right choice. We offered her assistance with resources and provided diapers and wipes for her youngest child. In addition, we were able to apply for Project Love to assist her with rent payment. We were so happy to recently learn of her delivery of a healthy baby boy named "Andrew".Yolanda and her husband are grateful for the assistance from Waterleaf which helped them make the choice of life!
Miracles happen at Waterleaf everyday through the intercession of the Holy Spirit and the support of parishioners like you. Your prayers and support of Waterleaf are greatly appreciated.Click here for more information about Waterleaf.
