THE LAST MINUTE OF HOPE


It´s 6 o clock, we must get up and we are really tired! Today we have to go to Dr. Emily’s; honestly it´s not the best choice for a Tuesday morning but it´s what we must do. We arrived, and other people were waiting for us, what am I doing here? Am I really  going to do something for these girls? I´m scared and a little bit ashamed to approach them and talk. 

The first one is pretty daunting, the second time is better, with the third girl I get exited! Then more people join us outside the door of the clinic, they are praying the rosary. Security guards are watching us, some of the passersby support us, others do not listen to us at all, but that doesn’t matter, I've realized that I am the last hope for that mother and her baby, the last person to talk to her before she gets an abortion ...



The work in Emily’s it´s really hard but I think that it´s the most important job we could ever do. Praying for those girls, being there for them, and the last hope for their babies; I have just realized that despite experiencing a bit of shame or insecurity at the beginning, we cannot surrender; we must give all of ourselves to this task, because we are their last hope.
