Dear Friends,
I want to tell you about a mom I’ll call Nora.
When we met her, she was sitting on our exam table—sixteen years old, pregnant, and staring at the floor as if wishing she could disappear. Her mother stood beside her, recounting a terrifying moment when three men attacked her at a stop sign, demanding money and punching her in the face while her children screamed in the back seat. She told me they only escaped because an ambulance pulled up behind them.
And as her mother spoke, Nora never looked up.
Her shoulders curled inward.
Her silence spoke louder than words.
She has endured more than most adults:
a father lost to violence,
a mother working two jobs to keep the family afloat,
and a pregnancy that began when a grown man pulled up
beside her school and invited her into his car, twice,
before disappearing.
This is the kind of weight she carries.
This is the kind of burden many of our moms carry.
They do not know their worth. They only know what they’ve been taught.
When I looked her in the eye that day and told her, “You’re going to be a good mother,” something in her softened. Just a little. But it was enough. Enough to remind her she was not alone, and that her story didn’t have to end where it started.
We meet moms like Nora every week.
Brave. Hurting. Quietly hoping someone will help them and their babies find safety, dignity, and a way forward. Believing God has rejected them, and not knowing how to find Him.
And this… this is exactly why the Morning Center exists.
Because of partners like you, expectant mothers who carry heartbreaking stories, overwhelming barriers, and generational wounds are met with something radically different: compassion, dignity and excellent prenatal care, wrapped in the love of Jesus.
They receive the kind of medical care they would never have access to otherwise—care that steadies them, strengthens them, and gives their babies a healthier beginning.
This year, your generosity made it possible for moms to receive:
Life-saving prenatal and postpartum care
Telehealth support when moms needed it most
Early identification of high-risk situations
Mentorship and emotional support
The life-changing hope of the Gospel
A circle of support through hospitals, churches, and community partners
Together, these create real change... giving moms like Nora the safety, stability, and hope they deserve. And we strongly believe this is what true ‘healthcare’ should look like.
As we close out the year, I want to ask you, personally, to consider standing with us in a meaningful way.
Your generosity has the power to reach mothers who are carrying unimaginable burdens and to place hope, safety, and excellent care directly into their hands. Every gift matters. Every gift transforms a life. And right now, we are ready to serve more moms than ever before—but we cannot do it without you.
There are three impactful ways to give:
1. A one-time year-end gift to immediately expand access and strengthen care.
2. 3. A monthly recurring partnership that sustains moms and babies all year long.
A multi-year annual commitment that secures long-term stability and allows us to grow boldly and wisely.
Your generosity doesn’t just support a clinic.
It surrounds a mother with safety.
It gives a baby a healthier beginning.
It opens the door for the love of Jesus to meet a heart in need.
Whatever you feel led to do, please know this: your gift today will change someone’s tomorrow.
In Him & Eternally Grateful,
Pia Jo Reynolds
President + CEO | Morning Center
