I've been more than pleased with the experience I've had with Be Not Afraid and feel comfortable that patients I refer to this service are in the most caring hands.

Acknowledging, embracing, and supporting the dignity of every human life is the most critical need of our day. Be Not Afraid does this completely and consistently, beginning with the mother and father of the child at risk, and extending to the child and any siblings - encompassing every aspect of life and love. I have personal experience with their work and am eternally grateful for their existence. I share with parents doctors, and clergy alike the tremendous ministry that is Be Not Afraid.
