Mater Care International

Why am I supporting  Mater Care International?

Their first paragraph at their website says everything:

"MaterCare is an organization of Catholic health professionals dedicated to the care of mothers and babies, both born and unborn, through new initiatives of service, training, research and advocacy, which are designed to reduce the tragically high rates of maternal mortality, morbidity and abortion.  MCI’s mission is to carry out the work of Evangelium Vitae (the Gospel of Life) by improving the lives and health of mothers and babies both born and unborn, through new initiatives of service, training, research, and advocacy designed to reduce the tragic levels of abortion world-wide and maternal and perinatal mortality, morbidity in developing countries."

When I read that they are not supported by government charities, WHO etc because they do not provide "reproductive services" (i.e. abortion) I was shocked.
MCI saves lives because people like you support them.  So please keep doing so.

One of Us

I will keep posting about One of Us.
Please sign this petition and please circulate this to as many people as you can.
Together we can stop UE funding abortion and embryo research.

Please click on the ONE OF US photo and to be redirected to their website.

But what is One of US?

“One of Us” is one of the first registered ECIs in the European Union. It’s goal is to greatly advance the protection of human life from conception in Europe – within the possibilities of the competency of the EU. Based on the definition of the human embryo as the beginning of the development of the human being, which was given in a recent ECJ judgment (Brüstle vs. Greenpeace), “One of Us” asks the EU to end the financing of activities which presuppose the destruction of human embryos, in particular in the areas of research, development aid and public health.
This will be done through a change of the financial regulation of the EU that determines the spending of the EU budget. A ban of such funding will greatly contribute to the consistency within the EU.

We have till 1st November 2013 to collect 1million signatures. Make sure that one of those signatures is yours.

This year's charities

At the very beginning of my lenten journey I have decided to choose three charities this year.

The first charity is of course Cardinal Winning Pro-life Initiative.
Why?
Because they do amazing things. They are there for those pregnant mums who struggle, they offer emotional, spiritual and financial help.

The second charity is Mater Care- it's a catholic charity which provides help for mothers and their babies where it is necessary. It's mission is to carry out the work of Evangelium Vitae (the Gospel of Life)- so tied in with what the firs charity is doing.

The third charity is SPES (it's a Polish Charity) which  takes care of very ill kids who require 24hrs attention and medical treatment.

More about them coming very soon.

Lent is so close

Hi.

It's almost a year. Great time enjoying my lovely coffee.
But...Lent is just over the corner and another challenge is in front of me.

As last year I'll battle with 40 days coffee-free. Can you imagine that? I cant. And all people who know me, know also how difficult it is going to be.

But it's the life cause and I'll do everything it takes to get LIFE of everyone protected.

So- are you with me this year?

If you also want LIFE protected please go on to ONE OF US initiative website and sign the petition.
Please do so now, please don't wait.

Let us show European Union that we care about life and that we care what they do to protect it.

so... Go on and SIGN:
