When she found out she was pregnant and lost her job, she didn't know where to find support for pregnant women in crisis.
She worked as a nurse until the hospital unexpectedly fired her. The stability she had worked so hard for suddenly vanished. The questions came quickly: “Oh my gosh, what do I do? How am I going to provide for my family?” She felt lost, alone, and overwhelmed.
Hello, my name is Brooklyn, and I wanted to take a moment to share just how wonderful every single person at AXIA is.
Here's a little bit of my backstory. I was born with a structural problem in my bladder that affected my chances of ever getting pregnant. I struggled with fertility issues for six and a half years. Multiple specialists told my mom and me that I would likely never be able to get pregnant, and that if I ever did, it would probably require IVF.
So when March 29, 2025 came around, I wasn’t expecting anything different.
One Sunday, a local pastor in our East Texas community shared a need with his congregation.
A mother in the church had recently lost her husband in a tragic motorcycle accident. In a moment, life had completely changed. She was suddenly widowed, caring for a newborn baby, and raising young children on her own.
Her church bravely shared her story, trusting that the community around them would respond. And they did.
