Choosing Life<br />
By Karen Patota<br />
As we commemorate 36 years of<br />
legalized abortion, we can celebrate<br />
having three centers; one in Jeffersonville,<br />
Collegeville and Bryn Mawr<br />
- places where life can be chosen.<br />
Our mission to help a mother to see<br />
her child take his/her breath goes well<br />
beyond its expectations. Last year<br />
we helped over 150 clients see their<br />
child take their first breath and then<br />
we held their hands and gave them<br />
hugs as they try to rebuild their lives.<br />
Choosing life is the first step – getting<br />
out of crisis is the ultimate goal.<br />
Crisis can mean different things to<br />
different clients<br />
– we<br />
help them establish<br />
their<br />
goals and prioritize<br />
them.<br />
We offer them<br />
resources like<br />
food banks<br />
and financial<br />
subsidies, but<br />
u l t i m a t e l y<br />
the solutions<br />
to their problems<br />
are their own. We are the emotional<br />
support that is so desperately<br />
needed in their time of crisis.<br />
Sometimes clients find themselves<br />
in a crisis through no fault of their<br />
own. One of our clients thought he<br />
was being a good dad. He was working<br />
as a truck driver sending back his<br />
paycheck for his wife and infant son.<br />
When he returned from one of his<br />
trips, he found his house in foreclosure,<br />
his truck sold out from under<br />
him and his son was almost taken<br />
away. He came to us and we gave him<br />
all of the provisions to care for his<br />
son. For him, we were a momentary<br />
stop on his way to re-building his life.<br />
For others, we are there for a longer<br />
term. One client was with us through<br />
her first crisis pregnancy for about<br />
two years. She had been attending<br />
the parenting classes learning about<br />
budgeting, parenting techniques, and<br />
chastity. Her husband was employed<br />
only part time, so the items she received<br />
from the Baby Store really<br />
helped their tight budget. She was in<br />
the doctor’s office when she received a<br />
call telling her she was the first choice<br />
for a job. The doctor then informed<br />
her that she was pregnant. She didn’t<br />
hesitate in choosing life.<br />
Choosing life doesn’t seem like a tough<br />
choice unless<br />
you listen to<br />
some of the<br />
situations our<br />
clients’ face.<br />
They’ve been<br />
abandoned,<br />
abused, and<br />
lied to. Many<br />
times, they<br />
must get over<br />
the loss of a<br />
relationship<br />
and continue<br />
on for the sake of the baby. When our<br />
clients get a chance to see their baby’s<br />
first breath, the decision to choose life<br />
doesn’t seem hard at all.<br />
A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> believes that if we had<br />
more centers we could save more lives<br />
and souls. The goal of the Corporate<br />
Board is to establish more A Baby’s<br />
<strong>Breath</strong> centers. God willing, we will<br />
have our name well recognized as the<br />
place to go when choosing life and<br />
beyond.<br />
If you would like to make a meaningful<br />
contribution to the choice for life,<br />
contact the local center nearest you<br />
to find out how to get involved and<br />
make a difference.<br />
God Bless!

7th Annual Silent Auction<br />
By: Peggy Rezza<br />
The silent auction was held at the Park Ridge Sheraton<br />
Hotel in King of Prussia on November 14, 2008. There<br />
were over a hundred items to bid on and the food<br />
and atmosphere were wonderful. One of the special<br />
features of the evening included the sale of red roses<br />
that had a surprise restaurant gift certificate attached<br />
to each one. Everyone said that they really enjoyed<br />
themselves and there were some very good deals. The<br />
event raised $37,500 and will be used toward the rent,<br />
utilities and other expenses that are incurred running<br />
the three offices. We are so appreciative to all who so<br />
generously gave their support to A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> (ABB).<br />
Everyone who worked on the committees spent hours getting ready. There<br />
were so many helpers on the night of the event, we could not have done<br />
it without them. The various committees were headed by Barb Fritz,<br />
Maureen Kozak, Vince Arena, Maria Diesel, Marybeth O’Connor, Dorothy<br />
and Bud Swedkowski, Sheri Cummins, Karen Patota, Judi Arena-Ondik,<br />
Joe Baldassari, Carol DiDonato, Marian Fraga, Rosemary Friedrich,<br />
Margaret Malloy, John Giorgis, Terry Lochry, Maryann and Bill McDonnell,<br />
Rene Sikkema, Dot Stipa, Jen Volpe, and Peggy and Tony Rezza. We are so<br />
grateful for their support.<br />
There was a testimonial by Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Vander Neut, former<br />
ABB clients. Auction attendees enjoyed the wonderful music of Andrew<br />
Neu.<br />
Our Gold Sponsors were John and Bonnie Jean Koresko and Tot-Time<br />
Child Development Centers. The Silver Sponsor was Brogan Orthodontics,<br />
and the Bronze Sponsors were Michele Johnson, Josephine J. Templeton,<br />
M.D. and John M. Templeton, Jr., M.D. and James J. White IV.<br />
Following the cocktail hour and viewing of the items, dinner was served<br />
buffet style followed by dessert. The live auction and raffle followed the<br />
silent auction and everyone said good night by 11:00 o’clock. It was a most<br />
enjoyable evening.<br />
We are all looking forward to our next auction this Fall. Please watch the<br />

LIVING PROOF<br />
By: Christopher Vander Neut<br />
A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> has been a very important part of both my life and my wife’s.<br />
We met in high school and quickly became good friends. After dating for a<br />
while, we found out that she was pregnant. At this point, we were both so<br />
scared and confused that we did not know what to do. Through a friend, we<br />
heard of A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> and what they do. After we scheduled out meeting,<br />
we became worried that we would feel uncomfortable or silly. Needless to say,<br />
this was not the case. The meeting was very helpful, and not once did we feel<br />
like we were bad people. After many more sessions and a lot of education about<br />
pregnancy, caring for a baby, and caring for our own relationship, we had a<br />
beautiful baby girl. Thanks to A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong>, we were able to welcome her into<br />
a loving family, and with their help we maintained our relationship so well that<br />
we were married<br />
last summer.<br />

wife Betty have<br />

Run for Life ‘08 - Main Line<br />
by Dot Stipa<br />
A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> - Main Line held its third annual Run for Life on Sunday morning, September 14, 2008. The 5K/1 mile fun run<br />
was held at Wilson Farm Park in Tredyffrin Township and it attracted over 150 participants. The participants included students from<br />
Archbishop Carroll, St. Anastasia Youth Group and Conestoga High School. Top winners in each age<br />
group were awarded a $50 prize. Each year, the race has grown<br />
larger and larger and we are already planning our next race for<br />
the Fall.<br />
In addition to providing an opportunity to test fitness levels,<br />
the race also helps to raise awareness. Each year, the race gives<br />
us a chance to tell the community about what we do at “A<br />
Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong>”. It is hoped that all participants keep us in mind<br />
if and when they encounter someone who needs our help.<br />
Teaching Childhood Injury<br />
Protection<br />
By: Judilyn Arena-Ondik R.N., Clinical Nurse Specialist<br />
Several years ago I volunteered to help as a counselor at A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> but I<br />
have never gotten used to the emotional feeling I get when I walk through the<br />
doors at 2118 West Main Street. I am moved by seeing so many volunteers at<br />
ABB working for such a great cause. I recently offered to teach a parenting class<br />
on Childhood Injury Prevention. I was pleasantly surprised to see at least 13<br />
people in the class. Each one of parents listened attentively to the advice I gave<br />
them on how they could help prevent injuries to their children. They weren’t<br />
just there to earn dollars to shop in the baby store, they wanted to learn. They<br />
shared stories, asked important questions, and even took literature for others.<br />
In addition, on the night of the class there were several Visitation BVM students<br />
who were babysitting and working in the Store to obtain service hours.<br />
The work that is being done at A Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong> is truly remarkable. The parents<br />
who come to ABB for assistance can actually obtain the much needed items and<br />
counseling because of Karen’s vision and the numerous volunteers like Joanne<br />
and Chris who make it all possible. You are all to be commended, for your<br />
generous gifts of your time, talents and treasures! Please know that many a<br />
child’s life is saved in one way or another because of you!<br />
<strong>Newsletter</strong> Updates<br />
Sandy McDonnell has graciously agreed to be the Editor for the Baby’s <strong>Breath</strong><br />

New Director At The<br />
Jeffersonville Center<br />
Paula Manchester has graciously accepted the<br />
position of Director of Jeffersonville. Paula is a full<br />
time employee of Merck. She came to us through<br />
her friendship with a classmate from the Catholic<br />
Leadership Institute - Joanne Day. She will be<br />
transitioning to her new responsibilities over the<br />
next couple of months. Thanks, Paula! You are a<br />
life-saver!!<br />
With the Paula taking over for the Jeffersonville<br />
Center we now need a Donations Coordinator. For<br />
anyone interested in this position - it is a Board<br />
position. Some of the responsibilities of the position<br />
include writing thank you letters, entering donations<br />
into the data base, paying bills, entering bills/<br />
donations into QuickBooks. Ideally, the position is<br />
best suited for someone coming into the center once<br />
a week. If you have any interest or know of someone<br />
who might be a good candidate, please contact Karen<br />
Patota.<br />
Run for Life ‘09 - Norristown<br />
The ‘09 RFL at the Norristown Farm Park is<br />
