So You Think Pro-Lifers Only Care About the Babies?

Crescat carWell, we don’t. We also care about single moms raising kids on their own, and the elderly, and post-abortive moms, and victims of domestic violence…and here’s a chance for us to put our money where our mouths are.

For those of you who might not know the Crescat, let me tell you a little bit about her. She’s a single mom who works her ass off to support her son and her mom. She’s a convert who keeps it real for the rest of us with her hilarious cartoons and her unflinching honesty. She’s a post-abortive mother who chose life, for her son and for herself. She makes it a priority to have her son involved in Boy Scouts, where there are excellent male role models that help reinforce all the virtues that she teaches him at home. She loves Doctor Who and she tells it like it is. In all her copious spare time, she takes real estate classes so she can get her real estate license and build a more stable life for her family.

In short, she’s freaking awesome. And her car just died a horrible death.

So she needs a new ride. As you can see at her GoFundMe page, she’s already gotten about $2000 more than her goal of $5000. So why bother donating more?

Because it would be really, really nice for Kat to have a car that isn’t going to die on her again in three years. Getting more than she hoped for would be a pretty big change in her luck, and she could use it right now. Besides the car itself, there’s also registration, taxes, inspection, insurance, and a whole crapload of other fees associated with buying a new car.

Plus, guys, here’s the thing: if you’re looking for a pro-life cause to donate to, look no further. This is it. This is a pro-life issue. Yeah, there aren’t any pregnant women or cute babies in the picture…there’s a single woman who’s raising her son alone because it was the only way to keep them both alive and safe, and taking care of her mom at the same time. The weight of three lives are resting on Kat’s shoulders, and there are too many of us to just turn away and let her carry it alone. The least — the very least– we can do is lift her burden a little by making sure she doesn’t have to worry about transportation.

So go donate a little to her car fund, or if you can’t, leave an encouraging comment and offer up a prayer for her tonight, will you?
