A Very Sweet Sixteen

In lieu of gifts for her Sweet Sixteenth Birthday, “Miss G” asked her family and friends to bring gifts for the young moms helped through Solutions.  This brief note was enclosed in the birthday invitations.


“Hello there! I hope you are able to join me for my birthday celebration. This year I would like to offer the opportunity to join me in helping a young mother in need. Over the past few years, I have been volunteering at Solutions Pregnancy & Health Center, a licensed medical facility that offers help, advice, and medical assistance for those facing an unplanned pregnancy. The Center offers free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, counseling options, abortion recovery support, and support and referrals for adoption. They also offer maternity housing referrals and mentoring programs in a warm and caring environment. The Center provides essentials for those families who have chosen life for their babies. They are currently in need of diapers, wipes, baby clothing, and even food store gift cards. If you would like to donate any of these items, it would be greatly appreciated. My prayer is to give many other children birthdays this year and all the years to come, and every donation counts!
This cause is very important to me, as I was adopted from a teen mother who chose life. Thanks to her bravery and strength, I am blessed to have a 16th birthday this year! Please join me in celebrating the gift of life this year!”   Love, "G"
