Thank you for taking interest in my blog and for the extra effort to get to know a little more about me.
I am 18 years old, have grown up pro-life and have been working in the movement since before I was in grade school. My first pro-life experiences, at the very young age of two, were when my parents helped to open and then physically run a local maternity home named Veronica's Home. We literally closed up our own home, and went to live in Veronica's Home until we found the necessary staffing to run Veronica's Home on a full time basis. Next I began helping out with local projects in my diocese. I started with simple projects such as coordinating the annual Mother's Day Rose Sale, which provides funding for local crisis pregnancy centers to eventually lobbying on both a state and national level for issues such as Safe Surrender and Parental Notification. It has also been my honor to work on the front lines of the pro-life movement through side walk counseling at local abortion clinics. Whether working at a local clinic where I have seen many lives saved as abortion minded women choose life for their unborn children, or working to ensure that women have access to programs such as safe surrender, I have been incredibly blessed to work in ministries that save human life one at a time and by the thousands. You might be saying to yourself, "that is great, but I can't picture myself praying or counseling in front of a clinic", or "I can not imagine speaking in front of a Senator or Congressman." The truth is I am not special, I have just said, "Yes", and each and every one of us have opportunities to say yes. YOU CAN DO IT!
Today I am working as a Pro-Life Activist, a National Spokesperson for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, and Coordinator of Social Media for Angels in Waiting. This year I acted as Coordinator of 40 Days for Life in Miramar, California, and I am incredibly excited to be coordinating the First Annual Walk For Life Youth Rally immediately following this year's West Coast Walk for Life in San Francisco. Did I mention that in my spare time (haha) I love to dance! I have been dancing since I was two years old and have trained in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, swing, and other forms of dance. I am continuing in my pursuit of dance, and hope to be dancing professionally within the next year. If you are ever interested I will let you know where I will be performing ;)
I appreciate you following me, and I promise to try to keep my content fresh, and sometimes bring you topics that extend outside of the beginning of life issues. Ultimately I hope that in your walk with me, you will see the image and likeness of God in every person that you meet, and that as a result you will treat everyone with dignity and respect. This is certainly my goal for myself, and although I may fall short some times, I look to my family, friends, and all of you to hold me accountable.
Blessings to you all,
Timmerie
P.S. All of the projects I work on, with the exception of dance, are non-profit organizations. If you are ever interested in donating directly to Survivor's, 40 Days for Life, Walk for Life Youth Rally (Archdiocese of San Francisco), or Angels in Waiting, give me call or send me an email, and I will send you a direct link to donate. Each and every one of these ministries will use every penny that you send in the pursuit of saving lives of the youngest among us. Thanks again :)
