SEVERAL SOURCES SHELTERS SHELTERS FOR MOTHERS & THEIR BABIES & HELP FOR NEEDY CHILDREN “Thus says the Lord, ‘A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.” (Jeremiah 31:15) January 2016 Dear Several Sources Benefactors, Our baby-saving work continues ONLY because of your prayers and financial support! How I wish you could come to our shelters for just a few hours to see how 79 cents of every dollar you donate saves God’s precious innocent preborn children, while we teach their mothers of His Divine Ever Present Love for them. Please feel free to contact us and set up a visit anytime so you can meet some of the precious innocent little ones whose lives you have saved and their young, forever grateful mothers. You have changed history in their lives and in God’s family too. “On Friday, October 9th I delivered my first baby little Donte. I was really lost when I first came to Our Gift of Hope seeking help for myself and my baby. I was not sure if I was going to keep the baby. I have not lived in America a long time and came from Ghana with my mother. I was feeling tired and sleepy all the time so I took a pregnancy test because I missed my period and the test came back positive. I was so nervous I did not know what I was going to do. I am going to school at Bradford Hall and barely had money to take care of myself let alone a baby. The sonographer helped me fill out an application for food and showed me where to go to apply for health insurance so I could keep my baby. When I saw my baby on the sonogram machine I felt like a mother and I did not want to throw my baby away. Thank you very much for all the help, support and counseling that helped me change my mind about my little baby that smiles all the time. Thank You, Topeka” Because of your generosity we were able to save 278 babies in the past 12 months through the efforts of our sonogram team, our sidewalk counselors and our Sprinter which is parked in front of one of the oldest abortion clinics in New Jersey. We are blessed to share with you “Our Gift of Hope” statistics that reflect a 37% decrease in the number of women entering the clinic from 4,784 in 2014 to 3,034 in 2015 for a total decrease of 1,750. Two of the “Saved” babies from “Our Gift of Hope”are from top to bottom: Donte born on 10-9-15 and Angel born on 5-10-15. “My name is Carmen and I would like to thank everyone at Our Gift of Hope for helping me outside of the abortion clinic in Englewood. I am 20 yrs. old and pregnant with my first baby. I thought that no one cared about what I was going through until someone came up to me and offered me a sonogram to see my baby for the first time. My life has not been the same since I saw my baby’s sonogram back in August of last year. My Angel is in my arms now and I am so happy that I keep him and now I know how important life is. Thank you again for all the help with food and clothing for my son. Carmen R.” We were blessed with 2 beautiful baby girls. Mom, Lexis gave birth to Emilee on 11/30/15 weighing 9 lbs. 14 oz. Lexis said “my daughter means everything in the world to me. My daughter was born with an actual tooth and the doctor said he had never seen a baby born with a tooth before. He said Emilee was one in a million. I would like to thank all our benefactors for helping to keep Several Sources up and running. If it wasn’t for Several Sources my daughter would not have been born. The benefactors have given me and others the chance to have our babies and have a place to get on our feet.” Jasmine, one of our most experienced housemothers with 17 years of service, handles a call from our 24 hour pregnancy hotline 1-800-662-2678 (1-800-NO-ABORT). Tierney’s daughter Jazlyn was born on 12/4/15 weighing 6 lbs. 15 oz. Tierney sends her thanks to Kathy for without her, her daughter would not have been born. Tierney’s mother was young when she was pregnant with her and did not want the same for her daughter. She wanted Tierney to have an abortion. Now that Jazlyn is born, Tierney’s mother is happy and accepts her granddaughter as a gift. Tierney would like to thank the benefactors for giving her a good place to stay and for helping to save her baby. Dear Benefactor, as you may imagine, each and every dollar counts. So when we asked a few of our Several Sources Families if they might help us to put together a $1 to $1 Matching Challenge they agreed, thanks be to God. Now we are blessed to announce that every dollar you donate before March 1st up to a total of $65,000 will be matched by these donors with another $1. SEVERAL SOURCES SHELTERS | P.O. Box 157, Ramsey, NJ 07446 | 201-818-9033 | www.severalsources.net We are so very grateful to learn that Our Dear Friend and Champion of the Several Sources Shelters, Blessed Mother Teresa will be canonized a Saint in the month of September 2016. What a blessed time to share with you some of the words she wrote to me 25 years ago on January 30, 1991. “Dear Kathy DiFiore, Thank you for your beautiful letter - so full of your humility and availability to God where He needs you most - to save the poorest of the poor - the un-born children. Let us not be afraid to be small, humble and helpless to prove our love for God. May God’s blessing continue to abide with you in Your good work. Let us pray. God bless you.” This photo was taken at the recent 30th Anniversary of Mother Teresa’s help to rescind Kathy’s $10,000 Fine for housing unwed mothers and their babies in her own home and the actual passing of Senate Bill 2697, nicknamed by some “The DiFiore Bill.” In 1988, I met with Mother Teresa during one of her frequent visits to Newark. She thoroughly enjoyed meeting our “saved” baby Liza who decided it might be ok to touch Mother’s nose. The last time I spoke to Liza, now 27 years old, she asked me, “Do you think some of Mother Teresa rubbed off on me?” SEVERAL SOURCES SHELTERS | P.O. Box 157, Ramsey, NJ 07446 | 201-818-9033 | www.severalsources.net To our joy and amazement on December 4, 2015 Bill O’Reilly of FOX TV’s The Factor stated on air that “Several Sources is one of the BEST CHARITIES in the world to put your money.” Note: Bill’s own charity has been donating to Several Sources Shelters since 2009 and Several Sources is also mentioned on Bill’s Personal Website as one of his “Favorite Charities”. (http://www.billoreilly.com/pg/jsp/billsfavorites/billscharities.jsp) Please spread the word and tell your family and friends about Bill’s message. Our baby saving work desperately needs more donors to help young, confused pregnant women to choose life for God’s innocent children and teach their mothers about Holy Chastity. Without your support our Shelters and Sonogram Center would close. January has always been the most difficult month for us to raise funds because the holidays are over and the winter season is upon us. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will help us to keep our shelters open. Your Sister in Christ Jesus, Kathy DiFiore, Founder P.S. We hire no professional fundraisers. 79¢ of every $1 goes towards helping God’s children in need. One of our former housemothers assists me in our daily struggles to help us pay our bills including putting together our appeals. Kathy holds “saved” baby Izabella born 8-25-15. In December, we were blessed to have one of our young benefactors recruit three new donors for us and one of these donors is trying to help us submit a grant application for the work we do through a foundation where he has contacts. Now a few of our Several Sources kindhearted families, as we mentioned, will be matching your donation $1 for $1 up to $65,000 between now and March 1st. PLEASE BE AS GENEROUS AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN TO SAVE GOD’S INNNOCENT PREBORN. SEVERAL SOURCES SHELTERS | P.O. Box 157, Ramsey, NJ 07446 | 201-818-9033 | www.severalsources.net
