Month: June 2016

It doesn’t matter what country you are from, how you were raised, or what you believe, we all seem to want one thing . . . purpose. We all want to know there’s a reason for our existence and hope that at least we make some kind of contribution in this world.

“You rock and we love you! It’s very cool to watch people walk out their purpose for their lives. I know that not everyone finds theirs, but in this season you definitely have!”

That’s what one of the women we worked with said about us recently. She continued to share, “You and the ladies at Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) have taken a load off our back and helped us rest in your organization at a very stressful and emotional time. What an unbelievable group you are! My boyfriend and I are so blessed to have his family support during this time of financial crisis, but I know there are so many women out there with no one to turn to.”

“I could see how, without places like Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid), women would make a different choice about their pregnancy because they would just simply feel too overwhelmed and not have the resources to move forward. Anyways, thanks again for everything.”

Because Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) has a purpose, and others are learning about it, women are accepting their unplanned pregnancy and getting the education and support they need despite their circumstances. Women are learning that an unplanned pregnancy doesn’t have to deter them from other goals; it just gives them an additional title and an opportunity to impact a very important life – the life of their child. Their life now may be different than they planned. But their value – their lasting contribution to this world – is far greater than ever before! They have a true purpose for their lives!

So, if you are facing an unplanned pregnancy and think you don’t know how you are going to survive it, call Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic (formerly Advice & Aid Pregnancy Center). We are here to walk through this season of your life and help you be the woman you are meant to be!

Deborah’s Story:

Hello. My name is Deborah and I came to Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) a few months ago after searching on the internet. Since the first day I visited, Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) has been very supportive of me. My aim when I came to Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) was to get rid of my baby, but they educated me and gave me support in a way I had never experienced before. Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) has helped me on my journey spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Because of their support, my husband and I have decided to keep our baby. Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) referred us to an amazing doctor who is taking care of  my baby and me. Through Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid), I have met people and groups that have helped me, my family, and my friends.

Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) has been a very, very supportive system. We can’t wait to have the newest member of our family join us in just a few more months!

Cheryl’s Story:

Volunteering at Two Lines (formerly Advice & Aid) is a blessing and a joy. My name is Cheryl, and I serve as a client advocate. I met Deborah one Friday when she came for a pregnancy test. She didn’t want to be pregnant; this was not a good time for her to have a baby.

As we talked, I learned about time that Deborah had spent in a refugee camp, about her marriage to her husband while there, and then about them being chosen to come to America . . . ending up in Kansas City. Now here she was in our office, sitting right across from me – a beautiful mom, a wife with career goals and plans for her future. Another child was simply not in her plans at that time. We talked, I gave her information, and she even had a chance to meet with the nurse. She left without making any decisions.

A few weeks passed and we learned she had decided to continue the pregnancy . . . such wonderful news to us! She also decided to begin our Journey’s program (education during pregnancy), and she and I now meet each week. We have developed a beautiful relationship and we continue to talk about her goals and dreams. What an amazing woman she is . . . and what a privilege it has been to be a small part of her life!
