A homeless woman, a pregnancy she felt she couldn’t afford, and a couple who used their savings to help. Eight years later, that one encounter turned into a pro-life nonprofit exploding in growth. Emily Berning, founder and CEO of Let Them Live, shares how that 2019 encounter grew into an online organization that says it has helped nearly 1,200 mothers.
Emily talks with host Dr. Susan Bane about:
- Remote support across the U.S., reached through social media and other online connections
- A triage approach: urgent cases may qualify for financial help, others are connected with resources, and each mother is assigned a counselor
- Partnerships with pregnancy centers that provide in-person care and community support
- A story of a woman who reached out from a clinic waiting room after seeing an Instagram post
- Compassionate care, listening without judgment, and practical help like housing
- How the group is adapting to medication abortion, private online spaces, and new technology including AI tools
If you’re a pregnancy center director or worker, or want to be inspired to make a difference where you’re at, this episode is for you.
