From Jennifer Carey,

Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center’s CEO

Hello, friends and donors,

I’m delighted to tell you our Center expects to reach 1,200 new clients in 2023! Did you know SMPC has a full eighteen months of cost-free services accessible to thousands of women and their families?

One current client shared,

“We didn’t have a gynecologist or other parenthood support networks. SMPC has an amazing social services navigation team that connected us with Healthy Start and a whole plethora of knowledge and access to everything we needed. We are grateful for the Center and its provision for us when we needed help the most.”

One method that helps sustain SMPC’s momentum is Monthly Giving. Each donor determines a monthly commitment they can cheerfully give.

You can scan the QR code and be directed to our secure online giving page. You can mail in a check. You can reach out to us to discuss your specific giving approach. We’re happy to help find a giving method that works for you.

Call or email the Center for information on planning and making your one-time gift or to set up your monthly reoccurring gift.

941-264-1407 or Finance@SarasotaPregnancy.com

Our Center belongs to the community, and we welcome you to visit us. You will be amazed at the depth of the love and services we provide to our community every day, and you too will be proud of our clients, staff and volunteers for their inspiring commitment to life.

For life and with joyful appreciation,

Jennifer Carey, CEO

pregnancy in 2021 and they knew I would need a little extra support with this pregnancy,” shares Priscilla, a SMPC client.

At the time, Priscilla was already a mom of three beautiful children ages 6, 8, and 10. She and her partner, Sacramento, were excited about having a child together.

“I’m an older mom; I was 40 when I was expecting my fourth child. Our whole family was so excited about this new baby who would be joining our family.”

When Sacramento, Jr. was born the doctors were concerned about some medical issues. It took weeks to confirm Sacramento, Jr.,’s Down Syndrome diagnosis.

“I didn’t know what to expect when I learned my baby had Down Syndrome. For a little bit I was devasted—I just thought the worst. But my mom said, ‘No worry, Priscilla, this baby will bring you much joy.’ She was so right.”

Priscilla engaged with SMPC’s Earn While You Learn programming and earned Junior’s diapers and wipes, a Pack ‘n Play sleep set, and benefitted from Miss Martha as her EWYL peer advocate.

“Miss Martha was incredible. She and my mom so encouraged and soothed my heart when Junior was diagnosed. She helped me with the right videos to watch and learn—especially the one on the differences in my baby’s cries. That was so helpful for me during Junior’s first year.”

“My children are all precious to me and they are precious to one another. I’m so grateful for the kindness and generosity of SMPC during this time in our lives.”
