One in Two Million, but Never Forgotten

Morgan stood in the airport, watching the crowds of humanity bustle by.

Businessmen checking their phones for emails, travelers standing in line in the food court. Everybody seemed so occupied.

Nobody could know her inner turmoil.

Carrying a pregnancy she hadn't expected, Morgan's family was deeply divided between life and death. She was only 18 years old. 

As she boarded the plane for her mother's town, Morgan felt lost and insignificant. Forgotten in a crowd.

Did anybody care?

At her mother's house in Washington state, Morgan knew she had come to the right place.

She'd become pregnant while living with her father. Morgan's father wanted her to abort her baby. The appointment was scheduled.

But Morgan never went to the clinic. Instead, her mother paid for a flight to her town.

In the meantime, her mother called Option Line. She wanted to know if there was a pregnancy help center nearby.

There was. And, as it turned out, it was the very center where Morgan and her mother had volunteered when Morgan was a young girl.

Now, Morgan is in good hands, thanks in part to the help of Option Line®, Heartbeat International's 24/7, 365-day per year pregnancy helpline.

Morgan is one of two million lives touched by Option Line since we first answered in 2003. Each day, Option Line answers 500+ calls, texts, emails, and live chats from women who, just like Morgan, are caught between a rock and a hard place--between life and death--and find life-affirming help, right when they need it most.

Even though she's one in two million, Morgan, her mother, and her child won't be forgotten in our crowd.
