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.

Thanks to many generous donors we have raised $25,500 of our $60,000 GLOW fundraising shortfall so far!
If you haven’t already given, please consider doing so now. Your gifts help more women find hope and healing at EPS through holistic women-centered care.
We need your help to reach our fundraising goal for GLOW. The snowy weather left us $60,000 short of what we were hoping to raise. Thanks to many generous donors we are $12,875 closer to reaching that goal!
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.
Your gift supports the work of EPS and helps us serve more women with free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, education, counseling, material support, and more. Thank you for your generosity!
