Jefferson Campus
Pregnancy Decision Health Center (PDHC) empowers individuals to make healthy life choices consistent with the God-given intrinsic value of every human life. The cost per client from beginning to end, which includes services throughout a woman’s entire pregnancy and beyond, up through the first year of their baby’s life, is $757. Covering these costs removes many barriers and fears that parents have about adequately preparing for, paying for, and bringing a baby into the world, bringing hope for a future and a family.
This year we are partnering with PDHC as they have recently bought a new building that will better serve their clients. The new building will be safer and offer more privacy for the expectant mothers. This year our goal is to raise $20,000 for their building project. The money will go towards construction and furnishing.
