Alexis & Tevin's Story
YOU CAN TURN BAD NEWS INTO GOOD NEWS.
A positive pregnancy test isn’t always a happy surprise. When Alexis discovered she was pregnant, she had just lost her grandmother who raised her. She wasn’t sure how her boyfriend Tevin would react. She was overwhelmed and thought an abortion might be her best option. At Sav-A-Life, we recognize the complex emotional, physical, and spiritual needs that come with an unplanned pregnancy, so we developed a comprehensive ministry to meet those needs. We offer free and confidential services to women, men, and families in a loving, nonjudgmental environment. We care for uninsured and at-risk individuals with free sexual health screening, pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, prenatal care, childbirth and parenting classes, relationship counseling, and material assistance.
When Alexis saw an ultrasound of her baby Emmanuel, she wanted to make parenting work. But she still needed help. Our Earn While You Learn program lets expecting and new parents earn Mommy Money and Daddy Dollars by attending classes or counseling. Clients can spend their incentives in our Stork’s Nest Boutique for all sorts of maternity and baby care supplies. Alexis and Tevin attended Earn While You Learn to gather supplies for Emmanuel, and working together deepened their commitment -- they’re getting married later this year.
Our ultimate purpose is to affirm all life by sharing the love and truth of Jesus Christ in both word and deed. You can help! Help us bring Good News to families like Emmanuel’s all over our city. Donate here.
