My beautiful friend Cheryl Carey shares her story of Laying hold of promises from God that got her through her grief after an abortion. Cheryl has found joy in many things such as conducting a post abortion bible study for women called " Forgiving and Set Free"! The scars of abortion are often so deep that women have difficulty sharing their pain with others.This  Bible study is a tool for women who want to repair their relationship with God. Only God can turn your wailing into dancing and not living with the guilt, and he promises to turn weeping endured for the night, joy would come in the morning. Cheryl is currently working at Eve's Hope in Palmetto Bay. 

Eve’s Hope offers women medical services and factual information regarding their pregnancy options and shares with them alternatives to abortion that embrace life-affirming decisions.

The Gospel is crucial in our ministry. It is through the message of hope that the life of the mother can be transformed and the life of the unborn saved. Your support gives women the strength to choose life for their unborn baby and to experience the unconditional love of Christ.

Every 20 seconds in the United States a baby is lost to abortion. That adds up to 1.2 million lost lives each year. In Florida, there were more than 74,865 abortions in 2020, 14,574 were in Miami-Dade. Miami ranks third in the nation for the number of abortions. 205 children are aborted every day in FL, 9 every hour, and 1 every 7 minutes. You can change that.
