Do head on over to Danielle Bean's site and donate to The First Annual Danielle Bean Pro-Life Raffle! Danielle has done an absolutely amazing job of compiling a fantastic smorgasbord of wonderful prizes to be awarded in a random drawing. All proceeds will benefit St. Gianna’s Maternity Home. This is a ministry that provides women in difficult pregnancies with a real choice – the ability to have all of their physical needs provided along with unconditional love and support while they anticipate the arrival of their precious babies.
This home is named after St. Gianna Molla, a modern day saint. While expecting her fourth child it was discovered that she had a cancerous tumor growing alongside the unborn baby in her womb. She naturally refused any medical treatment that would harm her child, and so sacrificed her own life for that of her child. This is what love does. She died April 29, 1962 at the age of 39, just a few days after the birth of her child. And in her honor we can help those mothers facing difficult, unexpected situations. Read more about St.Gianna here. I have made a special rosary in honor of St. Gianna for one of the many, many prizes. You can see it on my New Items Page.
Go and give! Please.
