Four Hearts, One Journey

We are honoured to share with you a note from parents of adorable twins, born in 2023. Their journey, marked by challenges and triumphs, beautifully encapsulates the essence of hope, resilience, and community support that Sanctuary Outreach strives to provide. Their story is not just their own, but a reflection of the powerful impact that compassion and collective effort can have on transforming lives...

There are no words strong enough to truly articulate how grateful I am to Sanctuary Outreach. Without their support, there is no possible way I would have found the strength to make it through this pregnancy and welcome two beautiful babies into the world.

A few years ago, I had an ultrasound and was subsequently told I was most likely unable to have children due to severe PCOS in both ovaries. It therefore came as a huge shock to my husband and I when we found out in March 2023 that I was pregnant. At 7 weeks pregnant, we were blown away a second time when we found out I was pregnant with twins. It was terrifying for both of us, as we have no support system whatsoever and – like so many – our finances were destroyed due to COVID-19.

I'll never forget how hopeless and afraid I felt when I first contacted Sanctuary Outreach in June 2023 as I sat outside alone sobbing so uncontrollably that I could barely make out any words. I didn't know what to expect by reaching out and all I hoped for was someone to talk to. I had no idea I'd end up being blessed with so much support, compassion and generosity.

(...) they provided both my husband and I with the priceless emotional support, understanding and encouragement we so desperately needed. We've both come so far from those early days of my pregnancy, when we were completely paralyzed and overwhelmed with fear that we were considering the unthinkable.

I know for certain that God is working through these incredible, selfless, extraordinary women at Sanctuary Outreach, and I feel so blessed, honored and humbled that they were so willing to help us, unconditionally and without judgement. I've often thought about how I wish I could repay Sanctuary Outreach and all their generous donors somehow, and I now realize that being the best mother I can possibly be to these babies is the best way to do just that. I will also make sure to pay it forward, and tell as many people as I can about Sanctuary Outreach – especially young women who have no idea this incredible resource exists and feel abortion is the only option for them.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the courage to choose life. You will all forever be in my thoughts and prayers. I will never forget all you've done for my family.
