Saying "Yes" to Life

Join us for our Women’s Help Center 2026 Gala for Life! Our annual dinner is a celebration of Life for the benefit of the mothers and families we serve in our Northeast Florida region.

Our work is made possible through the faithful support of donors like you. We invite you to stand with us in our mission to save lives by sponsoring the Women’s Help Center’s 2026 Gala for Life on May 13, 2026, the Feast of our Lady of Fatima. With the theme, “Saying Yes to Life”, the gala reflects our shared commitment to our vital mission of protecting mothers and the preborn.

We are honored to announce Most Reverend Erik Pohlmeier, Bishop of the Diocese of St Augustine, as the keynote speaker for this year’s gala. Bishop Pohlmeier exemplifies an unwavering conviction to the pro-life cause, having championed the protection of life from a young age and continually reaffirming his dedication to this life-saving work.

We cannot wait to see you there!

Giving Levels


$250 Pregnancy Tests

Your support at this level provides 10 medical-grade pregnancy tests for women facing uncertainty and fear due to an unexpected pregnancy. A simple test often becomes the first step toward clarity, opening the door to compassionate conversation, accurate information, and ongoing support. This gift helps ensure that every woman who comes to us is met with dignity, care, and the reassurance that she is not alone.

$500 Earn While You Learn Program

Earn While You Learn is an educational program for moms and dads who want to grow in their knowledge and confidence. Through educational sessions focused on pregnancy, parenthood, and life skills, participants deepen their understanding while building practical, real-life experience. Supplies and baby essentials are earned after each completed session, providing both encouragement and meaningful support along the way. Once the program is completed, parents earn their choice of a high-quality car seat, pack-and-play, or breast pump.

$1,000 Client Assistance

Gifts at this level provide direct, practical support to women and families during a critical moment in their lives. Women are often faced with the decision to abort because of the inability to provide for themselves or their families financially. While we never give cash to anyone, our client assistance offers tangible help in the form of car payments, groceries, or rent. This assistance for women at risk of abortion brings reassurance and encouragement in a time of uncertainty, often being the necessary motivation that leads them to choose life. This support reinforces our commitment to walk alongside each client with compassion, respect, and meaningful care when it matters most.

$2,500 Client Outreach

Gifts at this level help extend our reach to women and families who may be unaware of the support available to them. Our outreach is meant to combat the aggressive marketing campaigns of abortionists who prey on vulnerable women by promoting our life-affirming services. Client outreach connects individuals to education, pregnancy services, and compassionate care through intentional online and community presence, our 24/7 website’s AI chat box, and digital advertisement. This investment ensures that those women and families facing unplanned or challenging pregnancies can find timely support, accurate information, and a trusted place to turn.

$5,000 Ultrasounds

Contributions at this level direct resources toward the materials required for consistent ultrasound availability. This level of giving helps provide every client with a moment of clarity and reflection by allowing them to see their unborn child developing in the womb. Ultrasounds are the windows to the world of life and are what usually changes the minds of abortion-minded parents. Your contribution will allow us to continue reaching indecisive parents and give them awareness and love for the life they carry.

$10,000 Expand Our Care

Your support at this level ensures that our centers can not only continue providing critical services to women and families in need but also expand our care to offer new services, such as STI testing and more. Your generosity will help cover operational costs, staff training, and resources, allowing us to maintain a safe, welcoming environment for all who come through our doors. Giving at this level sustains and moves our mission forward, ensuring that hope, guidance, and care remain available when they are needed most.
