“I took care of it.” Those five words brought the biggest sigh of relief in my twenty-one years. I wasn’t ready for a kid, she wasn’t ready for a kid. It’s kind of like the saying goes, “You only know what you know”—and up to that point, all I knew is that kids draw on […]
The following story was submitted to us via email by Julia. She is grateful for the chance to share her story and hopes that she will be able to reach other women. Two dates are forever ingrained in my heart—the day my baby was supposed to be born and the day I chose to take […]
The following story comes from Several Sources Shelter in Englewood, NJ. My name is Victoria and I am twenty-four years old. I live in Paterson, NJ in an apartment with my four-year-old disabled son. I planned to get a job following high school, but with a child that needs 24/7 care, this quickly became impossible. […]
Part of being pro-life is not only supporting mothers through their pregnancies, but caring for orphans and the children within the foster care system. I recently interviewed a dear friend who has been fostering for about 5 months. May you really hear her heart and “find your something.” Tell me about why you chose to […]
Hi. My name is Caley. I have unruly red hair, brownish eyes (people say, “Did you know your eyes match your hair?!), and freckles. I feel most alive when I’m outdoors or making something with my hands. I describe things in my head when I’m alone, thinking of how I’d write them if someone were […]

My junior year in college, I was a dorm resident assistant. This meant I got a break on room and board, and was responsible for the girls who lived on my floor. I tried to develop relationships, help the girls with whatever they needed, plan events, and just generally be available for anything and everything […]
Society likes to think they are pro-woman, but from the wage gap to cultural stigmas, I think more and more we are realizing that’s not necessarily true. However, pregnancy resource centers often strive to fight this stigma by truly empowering women. This month, my friend Josh, a 20 something, male, Executive Director at a pregnancy resource […]
Recently, Huffington Post published an article stating how awful and terrifying crisis pregnancy centers are. I interviewed Amy, the director of a “life affirming pregnancy resource ministry” in a college town to get actual facts and get to the bottom of what does and does not go on at these kinds of centers. Tell me […]

Help us turn $25,000 into $50,000 by next Friday! Earlier this week, on Giving Tuesday, Save the Storks set an exciting goal to raise $25,000. A generous donor with a big heart for the work we do here at Save the Storks agreed to extend their match – up to $25,000 – until next Friday, […]
(Child pictured is not Cade Lyons.) “Stay curious. Think well. Advance good.” This is the motto behind Q, a nonprofit dedicated to redeeming culture through conversations. I had the privilege of getting to know Gabe and Rebekah Lyons, the founders of Q, and their three children, while I was in New York for college. Their […]
