The sidewalk counselors at Summit have asked us to pray for Janell, whom they met yesterday morning at the abortuary. We also received a call from a woman who received our number while at American Family Planning on Thursday. Even though she is of age, she says her mother will “kill her” if she finds out that she is pregnant. We ofered her refuge in the Ypsi area, but she says she doesn’t want to leave Detroit. Meanwhile a woman that we turned away from the abortuary about two years ago has begun helping us in Detroit. She is bringing us the names of mothers in crisis, and she has begun helping us do deliveries in Detroit. Yesterday we met her at La Rosita, gave her the supplies, and she took it from there.
A group of University of Michigan students spent a Saturday helping us prepare Guadalupe House II for residents, as did some helpers from Spiritus Sanctus Academy. Another benefactor provided new carpet. The house is almost ready.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, please remember all our mothers. Give hope to the hopeless, just as you did so long ago in Mexico.
