Saku discovered she was pregnant just as her husband starting abusing her. She learned about Birthmothers when she picked up a Need A Friend? card at a Birthmothers Partnering Church. Saku called Birthmothers and was matched with a Friend who helped her find a place of physical safety while her husband received the help he needed.
Need A Friend? cards are an important tool you can use to help us reach women who face an unplanned pregnancy.
Consider sharing the cards with waitresses and cashiers, or leaving them in dressing rooms, laundromats, pay phones, at garage sales and on community bulletin boards – anywhere women may find them. Churches and businesses can display cards in waiting areas.
By giving away cards, you help connect more women to a Birthmothers Friend. You never know when the card you place in a public area or give to another person can help a pregnant woman in crisis – a woman like Saku. The card you share might just save a life.
Need A Friend? cards and display boxes are provided at no cost when you contact Birthmothers.
