Our supporters surprised me

We held a Charity Dinner May 2 at the Treesdale Golf and Country Club in Gibsonia. It was a truly delightful evening. I'm not a fan, generally, of these dinners, but that has more to do with my own makeup than the dinners themselves. Harry Griffith did a great job putting everyone at ease. I spoke briefly about what we were doing: going from 3 out of 4 pregnancies resulting in birth in 2010, to 4 out of 5 children being born in 2015, to 5 out of 6 children being born in . . . perhaps 2017!

I told the people present that we were looking for $15,000. I was surprised. Including some money given before and after the event, we raised something like $23,000! Astonishing! Thank you, VFL supporters!

We are already putting that money to use to improve the search results for Women's Choice Network on Google. March was a banner month for WCN -- the most new clients in one month in their history. We are also doing Google advertising with Choices Pregnancy Services. While pay-per-click advertising works, it may be taking a back seat to Googles' "Local Search" or "Google Places" advertising -- and we're on top of that, too, for both organizations. It should be a good year for saving moms and babies from abortion.

Congratulations on exceeding your goal to raise fifteen thousand dollars! I am so happy to hear that you will be using that fund for women's cause. You truly have a good heart to donate all of the money you have raised just to empower women. Women have been a victim of discrimination for thousands of years now and seeing people like yourself helping women makes me feel that I can be of help too. As a woman myself, I feel like it is my responsibility to spread awareness of gender equality because this is the least thing that I can do. Even if you do not have money to donate to different fundraising events and charities for women's cause, you can do your part by raising awareness on issues like women empowerment and gender equality.

You are really worth it of the fifteen thousand dollars. We need more person like you who make money for a good cause. We need more people like you who focuses on women's rights and such. Many people nowadays always fight for feminism, but do not broaden their minds to sexuality. They wanted an equal rights, but not equal responsibilities. This does not only talks about being feminine. It is sad that many people are blinded to see the essence of things.

Abortion numbers fall.

What Our Supporters Are Saying

"What if I had never answered the call after hours? 
What if she had never changed her mind? 
What if Vision for Life had never assisted with The HOPE Pregnancy Center on their ad campaign?
It takes all of that to save one life, because every life is precious and valuable. 
Thank you for your Vision for Life, for all that you have done!" -- Marlene Downing, former Ex. Dir., The Hope Pregnancy Center, Philadelphia
