4 Reasons to Give This Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global movement that takes place every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. After days filled with Black Friday doorbusters and Cyber Monday deals, it offers a moment to pause. Instead of only filling up carts, it invites us to “shop for good” by investing in causes that make a real difference.

At Save the Storks, every Giving Tuesday gift gives a mom the chance to choose life. A moment of generosity can mean more than just presents being delivered this Christmas. Together, we are delivering hope to a woman in her greatest moment of need.

Here are four reasons your Giving Tuesday gift can make a life-changing difference this year.

Reason #1: You’re Helping Women Choose Life

This Giving Tuesday, what may feel like a small moment of generosity for you can become a life-changing moment for her. Most women facing unplanned pregnancies only need one moment of hope to see the truth and choose life for their babies. Through Save the Storks Mobile Medical Clinics, we provide free ultrasounds and compassionate care right where she needs it most.

When a mom steps onto a Mobile Medical Clinic, she will see her baby on an ultrasound for the very first time and hear her baby’s heartbeat. It is on these state-of-the-art mobile clinics that she chooses life three out of four times. *

Your donation helps put a Save the Storks Mobile Medical Clinic in the right place at the right time to reach her first—before she feels pressure to choose abortion.

When Toria saw her baby on the ultrasound, she said, “Now that I’ve seen her, I just can’t abort her.”

Reason #2: You Can Be a Support System for Moms Who Don’t Have One

While many people are scrolling for holiday sales, women are facing the reality of an unplanned pregnancy alone. You can be the support system she doesn’t have this holiday season. Your donation provides both compassionate care and practical help for moms throughout the holidays and into the new year.

With your support, we gave one mother an early Christmas surprise last year.

Let’s spend this season of giving by investing in every mom who’s doing it alone.

Reason #3: Giving Reflects God’s Heart and Heals Ours

We know that in the Bible, God calls us to give generously.

Matthew 25:40 (NIV)

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Proverbs 11:25 (NIV)

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

Giving isn’t just a physical act. It is a spiritual practice, a way to surrender what God has given us to care for the least of these. And just as God always knows what is best, science confirms that generosity not only helps others, it also blesses the giver. Research shows that giving can release serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin, lower blood pressure, and even increase lifespan.

As Christians, when we give, we reflect our Creator, the One who gave everything for us.

Reason #4: Your Gift Delivers Hope to Women Nationwide

Delivering Hope is the heart behind everything we do at Save the Storks. It is our focus this giving season: sharing real stories of courage, healing, and new beginnings happening every day through our mobile clinics, pregnancy centers, and church partners.

“When a woman faces an unplanned pregnancy, fear often feels louder than faith,” said Dr. Karysse Hutson, national medical director for Save the Storks. “Delivering Hope reminds her that she is not alone. Every heartbeat, every story, every act of courage is proof that life and love still triumph.”

Our CEO, Diane Ferraro, has seen this firsthand. After receiving a Saturday afternoon call about a young woman who regretted taking the abortion pill, she prayed with her and helped her find immediate care. Three days later, the woman heard her baby’s heartbeat again.

“Delivering Hope is not just a campaign. It is what happens when someone chooses to answer the call,” Ferraro said.

Why Give this Giving Tuesday?

After days of online carts, checkout buttons, and searching for the best deals, Giving Tuesday gives us the chance to shop for good. Your generosity delivers hope where it is needed most. Every gift helps women, babies, and families across the country experience life-affirming care through our mobile medical clinics and partner programs.

DEAR READER

We hope this article enlightened and inspired you to stand up for life.

Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are still prevalent in our nation. As a response to the overturning, the media: from the news to entertainment sources to even political figures and celebrities, have pushed abortion as an ongoing agenda, shaping the way this generation thinks and acts. Misinformation is being spread every day, and people are sadly believing the lies.

Our articles and stories aim to tell one thing: the truth.

We know that it is both a blessing and a challenge to understand the reality of abortion, because knowledge incites belief, and belief incites action. But we’re in this together. We believe that we can make abortion unthinkable.

With your support, we look forward to a future where young women are empowered to fight for their own rights: a right to bring life into the world, to be fearless leaders, to be examples of hope, strength, and undeterred resilience. We look forward to a future where life can happen.

If this article strengthened your belief to reach women everywhere with the truth and to let life happen, then please consider helping us extend our reach by making a gift right now. Your gift of just $10 or $20 helps our mission to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy.

We aim to create a culture that views “pro-life” as equivalent to having empathy and compassion, providing holistic care (before and beyond pregnancy) and education, and most importantly, choosing to speak and act in love. We are pro-life, pro-love, pro-woman, pro-solution.

Don’t just be part of the movement, be part of the solution, and give today.
