Life is hard. We can make it better, especially for moms

While many know October is Respect Life month, it is also national Depression and Health Screening month. Our newest intern, Elizabeth Troyer, brings help and hope to pregnant and parenting women and caregivers in her new articles to our WomenDeserveBetter.com helpsite.

Our helpsite offers tips and articles to help ease the burden and to Work, Learn, Live, and Love better. We encourage you to share these resources and our helpsite with your local churches, schools, pregnancy help centers, doctor offices and online.

We thank you for spreading love for the most vulnerable.

Because women deserve better,
