Give to Heartbeat Pregnancy Help!
Heartbeat has helped over 425 newborn babies this year, and hundreds of children. Heartbeat relies on the generosity of our parishes to continue God's work. Saint Agnes and Saint Camillus, please pray for us as we support this important ministry!
Knowing how difficult it is for these women to ask for help, Heartbeat often goes above and beyond the initial request, with compassion, in help restore the dignity of these women, who otherwise would feel less-than for having asked. There are countless stories of hope and love provided by Heartbeat Pregnancy Help. Here are just a few of the stories...
- One mom came to Heartbeat on her due date, panicked because she didn't have a car seat and knew she couldn't bring the baby home without a car seat. Heartbeat provided her with a car seat, stroller, and layette.
- A woman called looking for a crib mattress for her 18-month old son who is sleeping on a comforter on the floor. Heartbeat will get her son a mattress and a toddler bed.
- A mother called Heartbeat when she needed clothing for her three children. She had left her abusive husband and was living in one room with her three children in a friend's apartment. Heartbeat provided her with clothing for her children.
- One woman got to her knees in gratitude when she saw the items she was receiving for her baby.
- A young mother needed help. She was living in a homeless shelter with her toddler. She was expecting a second child that would be born premature due to health problems. Heartbeat provided her with emotional and material support.
- A mom calls for help. She has twin boys turning 9 and nothing in her fridge to eat or birthday presents for her sons. Heartbeat got her a gift card to Market Basket and birthday presents for her sons.
God is so good! You can help Heartbeat do His work Heartbeat is an all-volunteer nonprofit (501c3) organization that has been helping needy families north of Boston for the past 25 years. Expectant moms who have nothing for their babies are provided with a pack-n-play, a stroller/car seat combination, blankets, clothing, bibs, bottles, diapers & wipes, and other needed baby items. Heartbeat continues to provide help for many years, as needed, with clothing for the babies and their siblings, baby and children’s equipment, toys and other items. They deliver needed help to many families who cannot get to Burlington. Some of the items are donated to Heartbeat. Most must be purchased, usually at bargain prices. Over 95% of your donation goes to helping these mothers and babies. Just as it has affected every individual and business, the COVID-19 virus has greatly impacted the ability of Heartbeat to help the hundreds of north of Boston families who seek their aid this year. Heartbeat relies on the generosity of Catholic parishes to do God's work. In the past, Saint Agnes and Saint Camillus parishes have raised close to $10,000 each year for Heartbeat through the annual baby bottle fundraiser. We are hoping to continue our generosity, even with the challenges of the Covid-19. Please donate to Heartbeat today so they can continue to serve God and women and babies in need. Any donation will help make an impact.
