In a small hospital room in Jerusalem, a young Israeli mother cradles her newborn son. Her eyes are tired, her body weak, but her heart is full. Just a few months earlier, she had been alone, afraid, and moments away from choosing abortion. Today, she is a hopeful woman who chose life in the face of despair.

All across Israel, stories like this are unfolding; quiet, courageous stories of women who find themselves at impossible crossroads. Some are teenagers. Others are single mothers, survivors of abuse, trauma or addiction. Many are abandoned by partners, shunned by family, or struggling in poverty. And yet, in the middle of their crisis, they are choosing to say “Yes” to life.

By funding pro-life counsellors, providing baby supplies, and ensuring aid for these women for the first year after birth, the ICEJ is helping these mothers turn fear into faith and uncertainty into love.
