The Bridge to Life, a pro-life organization dedicated to supporting women facing unplanned pregnancies, recently hosted its first-ever Client Appreciation Day.
Mothers who chose life for their babies were welcomed with open arms, provided with essential supplies, and celebrated for their decision.
Tracy Tang, a former client and now a volunteer, reflected on her own journey.
Two years ago, she found herself grappling with an unplanned pregnancy and wasn’t sure if she was ready to become a mother. But after connecting with The Bridge to Life, she made the life-changing decision to keep her baby.
“They assured me everything would be okay. Francesca would call me regularly to see how I was doing,” said Tang, now married and expecting her second child. “It’s like family.”
During the event, moms received gift cards, supplies, food assistance, and clothing.
The joy was evident, as many walked away with extra items on top of what they regularly receive from the organization.
Francesca Yellico, The Bridge to Life’s Executive Director, emphasized that their mission goes beyond material support.
“We want them to know they’re valued, and that they’re not alone. We walk with them throughout their pregnancy and beyond.”
A highlight of the day was a fun activity called “Diaper Pong,” where moms won packs of diapers from EveryLife, a pro-life diaper company.
Earlier this year, EveryLife made headlines by offering lifetime supplies of diapers to expectant mothers near a Planned Parenthood mobile clinic.
The Bridge to Life continues its partnership with Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens, and plans to expand its collaboration with EveryLife to further support women and families in need.
