EVERY DAY: Every day women wake up believing that abortion is the only realistic solution to an unplanned pregnancy. Every day women are reaching for the hope that someone will help them by providing answers to their questions on pregnancy options. Every day an unborn child’s life is ended and a woman’s life is changed forever. Every day Care Net of Central Texas provides women with compassionate care, practical support and accurate information to change a woman’s life forever by providing hope. Care Net of Central Texas does this with medical support through pregnancy testing, STD testing and ultrasounds, and practical support through material assistance, community resource referrals, individual counseling, prenatal classes and emotional support. Every day is possible because of supporters like you. You change lives through your support. Partner with Care Net of Central Texas on a monthly basis or through your one time gift to help us continue to provide hope to those seeking answers. At the present time, the center is in great need of baby wipes, size 3 – 24 month clothes, and newborn and size 5 diapers. If you can help, please leave the items on the back table and they will be delivered to the center at 800 W. Waco Drive in Waco.
