Our
campaign with Pro-Life Across America featuring beautiful
babies who have Down syndrome has been an amazing success.
There have been 900 billboards in 42 states and Canada.
People across the country have called to express their
gratitude for a message of hope in a time of darkness.
Through the grace of God and
the prayers and support of many, we have been able to
help hundreds of families over the past two years in
46 states and seven countries. We have been providing
advice, encouragement, information, and most importantly
prayer.
Hundreds of lambs, blankets, CDs, memory boxes, and
brochures have been sent all over the world. We have
made meals, made many hospital visits, attended funerals,
and hosted prayer showers in support of the families
we serve.
“Peter’s
Story,” written for the United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops 2007-2008 respect life packet, has
been nothing short of a gift and a blessing. The response
has been incredible, resulting in many articles written
and the mailing of hundreds of brochures to dioceses
across the U.S. This in turn has led to our being able
to help many more families choose life and God’s
plan for their child.
We have had numerous speaking
engagements with churches, schools, and other organizations,
including a presentation to medical students at Creighton
University. We have also been featured in several articles
and publications, including Zenit
and have recently been a guest on Relevant
Radio.. We continue to spread the message that all
children regardless of any special needs deserve a fighting
chance at life! With God’s grace and help from
generous supporters like you, we will continue to speak
up for these special babies.
We continue to support and pray
for Sen.
Sam Brownback’s proposed bill, Prenatally
and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act.
This is exciting new legislation which would require
that families who receive a diagnosis of Down syndrome
or any other condition, prenatally or up until a year
after birth, be provided with up-to-date information
about the nature of the condition and connection with
support services and networks that could offer assistance..
We are currently working on
a mailing to Perinatologists throughout the United States.
We want to share with them the value and meaning that
these special children bring to so many people. We ask
for your continued prayers as we undertake this task
and continue our outreach sharing with others the beauty
and value of children with special needs, born and pre-born.
We will keep you posted on
upcoming events and fundraisers. We thank you for your
continued prayers and support.
The support, information and encouragement provided by the PPFL parents is not meant to take the place of medical advice by a medical professional. Any specific questions about care should be directed to a health care professional familiar with the situation.
