Chelsea, an EPS client, shared her story at GLOW. She’s an example of great faith and what can happen when women in need get a hand-up at a very difficult time.

She shares the powerful impact EPS has had on her life as a single mom with two young sons. Her story is one that inspires us to do all we can to reach and serve more women.

We encourage you to watch it, share it, and be inspired by Chelsea’s courage.

We’re asking those with the capacity to give to help us hit our goal, please consider a gift of $100, $250, $500, or more. Gifts of $1,000 or more will receive an autographed copy of Al and Lisa Robertson’s book, Desperate Forgiveness. Give today and help us “fill the globe” with snow!

Your generosity makes a difference. Sadly, even in a snowstorm women are still seeking a chemical abortion, EPS helps these women find hope when they need it the most.

We understand that many had to make the choice to stay home from GLOW 2026 due to the snowy weather. An estimated 300 people out of the 800 registered were able to make it to GLOW. Not surprisingly, those in attendance stepped up their generosity and EPS sits just $60,000 short of our goal.

EPS has christened our post event effort to reach our giving goal “SNOW GLOW 26”. We’re asking those with the capacity to give to help us hit our goal, please consider a gift of $100, $250, $500, or more. Gifts of $1,000 or more will receive an autographed copy of Al and Lisa Robertson’s book, Desperate Forgiveness.
