A Baby is On the Way. A Young Mom is Choosing Hope. Now She Needs Your Encouragement and Support.
At just 22 years old, Annabella is preparing for one of the biggest moments of her life: becoming a mom.
Only six months into dating her boyfriend, the two discovered they were expecting a baby while on a trip doing pro-life ministry together. The news came as a surprise, and because they weren't married, it brought uncertainty, difficult conversations and financial challenges for both of their families.
Despite those challenges, they did not waver in their pro-life convictions, and they chose life.
"I have always been super pro-life and so has he, so abortion was never on the table. We are totally unprepared financially and scared but still very excited for our baby," Annabella says.
Like many young parents facing an unexpected pregnancy, Annabella and her boyfriend are doing everything they can to prepare for their baby's arrival. They're working hard and making sacrifices as they embrace parenthood.
At Unplanned Stories, we believe no parent who chooses life should have to walk this journey alone. That's why we're coming alongside Annabella with practical support, encouragement and a community that reminds her she is seen, loved and not forgotten.
Why We're Raising $1,400
Your gift will cover the high-cost items on her registry — e.g. crib mattress, bassinet, breast pump, convertible car seat, baby carrier, car seat and stroller travel system, and baby swing.
If we exceed our goal, every additional dollar will go toward other baby essentials that will help give Annabella and her little one a strong, healthy start.
Your Gift Does More Than Buy Baby Gear
Annabella's baby is due in November 2026.
Every donation is a tangible reminder that she isn't facing motherhood alone. Your generosity will help relieve financial stress, provide practical resources and surround this young family with hope as they prepare to welcome their baby into the world.
When parents choose life, they deserve a village that chooses them, too. Will you be part of Annabella's village today?
