How We Can Help

Offering Real Help for Pregnant Women Through Care and Community

Few roads have as many twists and turns as an unexpected pregnancy. When you see that positive result, you might wonder how to move forward.

Parenting is a unique responsibility that brings love, joy, and new opportunities. But at first, the future can feel uncertain and even overwhelming, which is why finding help for pregnant women can make all the difference as you take your next steps.

Pregnant and parenting women may face many challenges, including:

• Financial concerns
• The need for spiritual and/or emotional support
• Difficulty finding resources for themselves and their baby, including food, clothing, and medical care
• Unstable living environments
• Lack of a secure support system
• Absence of the baby’s father
• Strained relationships
• Pressure to have an abortion, despite wanting to continue the pregnancy

Your situation may or may not include something on this list. Every woman’s story is unique, and you deserve to be respected, heard, and valued as you begin this new journey.

Gabriel Network offers compassionate help for pregnant women and families facing unplanned pregnancies. Through our network of churches and dedicated volunteers, we provide programs for parenting and pregnant women that meet their emotional, spiritual, and practical needs.

Together, we ensure you never feel alone. Our team can also connect you with pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) for additional support. We’re here to guide you through life’s ups and downs—every step of the way.
