Help Us Give Our Baby Boy the Memorial He Deserves

Hey everyone, so as most of you may know, my water broke just shy of 17 weeks. Mine and Jeremy‘s plan was to keep our faith in God and continue with our pregnancy knowing the risk factors for me and for the baby I wanted to continue and get as far as I possibly could knowing that we were only five weeks away from 22 weeks which is considered viable at the hospital I was in. However, we didn’t make it that far and I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy on June 21st. Obviously he wasn’t considered “viable” as he was only shy of 17 weeks, he passed at 9:55am in my arms. I asked what happens with him and they told me the hospital “takes care of it” I’m sorry but I can’t bear the thought of him being throw in some trash bin like a piece of garbage so I requested he be cremated. This came as such a surprise to us as it would anyone and we just don’t have the funds to give him the proper memorial we need to give him. The urns are so expensive even though he’s so tiny, the keepsakes are expensive and if we want anything engraved, that’s a whole other story. So, I’m asking for help if anyone can help us, it would be greatly appreciated more than you know! If you can’t that’s okay too. Prayers are always welcome and appreciated Thank you all in advance

The false statement: 

Plan B is an emergency contraceptive not an abortion pill. Experts explain the difference. Fri, June 25, 2021, 1:49 PM https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/plan-b /  Abby Haglage                                                                                               

     

 

The truth: Prescribing information for Plan B points out that the drug works by “preventing ovulation” or “possibly preventing fertilization.”  Or it may alter the endometrium and thereby “inhibit implantation.”[1]  This refers to implantation of any newly conceived human individual/zygote in the mother’s womb.  Hence, the complete clinical pharmacology of Plan B demands that the drug product be duly recognized as an abortifacient – or potential abortifacient – and not merely described as “emergency contraception.” Plan B prescribing information, available online at http://planbonestep.com/plan-b-pharmacists/how-plan-b-works.aspx [accessed 2013 May 1].  Originally accessed at http://www.go2planb.com/PDF/ PlanBPI.pdf [2006 Mar 7].   Plan B One Step contains 1.50 mg levonorgestrel per tablet. https://lozierinstitute.org/plan-b-abortifacient-and-other-risks/

Pastor Dave Brennan from the UK requests prayer for the HOPE Centre: 

“Prayer for continuing wisdom and direction as we look to begin our first partnership with local churches to establish a physical location.”

Rebekah Collins challenges us:

Let's do 'HOPE' together!

We are trusting that HOPE is a: "...planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified" Isaiah 61:3

Will you join us in partnering with the Lord in this new project for His glory in our nation?

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."  2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Update on Marianne Chicola. Kaitlin Elliott  writes: 

Hi Everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve given an update about mom...she finished 6 weeks of chemo and radiation about a month ago and she’s feeling pretty good. Today she went for an MRI, and we are really excited to say that her scans look good and there is no tumor regrowth at this time!! She will begin oral chemo again as soon as her white blood count recovers and will be on that for 5 days per month for the next 6 months. She will also go to Lenox Hill for part two of her clinical trial on June 14th. As always, we are so thankful for your prayers and words of encouragement!
