Greetings!


When Layla walked through our doors, she was just 17. A high school senior. Pregnant. Physically exhausted and emotionally drained.


She felt so overwhelmed that she eventually dropped out of school. But even in her discouragement, Layla was determined to carry her baby.


Because of the generosity of friends like you, we offered Layla a place to learn, rest, and regain her footing. She loved our free prenatal classes, and after her baby was born, she came back for parenting lessons.

DONATE

Recently, she shared two pieces of exciting news:


  • She's moving into her own safe, stable home
  • She's going back to finish her education and is on track to earn her GED in just a few months


"I'm so thankful for all the encouragement you've given me — especially the encouragement I've received from my advocate," Layla said.


Her words remind us that the ministry of Align is ultimately about walking with people in a spirit of gentleness and the grace we all need, just as Paul describes in Galatians 6, bearing one another's burdens.


And that's exactly what you help make possible.

SUPPORT MOMS LIKE LAYLA

Thank you for being part of Layla's story and the stories still being written every day.

In the powerful, life-saving name of Jesus,


Lisa Hosler

President
