In order to help women with pregnancies in crisis, the Provida Latam Network will hold the “Baby Shower of the Child Jesus” on Saturday, December 14, and thus reinforce the yes to life that these mothers said despite the difficulties. .
In conversation with ACI Prensa, the director of the Red Provida Latam, Deisy Álvarez, indicated that the beneficiaries “are mothers with pregnancies in crisis, women who have had an unexpected pregnancy and who wanted to abort, and thanks to our support they decided to say yes.” to life.”

For this reason, they encourage people to go on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to their headquarters in Medellín (Colombia), Casa Provida – Calle 54 # 43-91.
“We will gather to celebrate and give Baby Jesus what he needs to reach the world: diapers, clothes, wipes, bottles, bibs, blankets, mittens and socks. Everything you can donate, no matter how small, will make a big difference in the lives of many babies,” states the pro-life organization in a note sent to ACI Prensa.
Likewise, it indicates that those who cannot come can make their donations to the Bancolombia savings account: 27474155418, or PayPal: paypalme/corporacion1mas.
“Once you make your contribution, please share the receipt on WhatsApp: +57 3045412602,” he explains.
The goal is to prepare trousseaus for “more than 100 mothers in their 30th week of pregnancy,” so that each one “receives everything they need to welcome their baby with love, safety and dignity.”
“That trousseau,” said Deisy Álvarez, “reinforces that yes to the life of that mother, because they are mothers who remain doubtful about having the baby until the last moment. Mothers who are nine months old and say ‘I don’t know if I’m going to have it or not, I’m very nervous.’ So, the material support that we give to these women reinforces that yes to life.”
In that sense, the director of the Red Provida Latam shared that mothers receive gifts for their babies with joy, because “they feel that they are not alone, they feel the support, that ‘you are not alone, we are with you’ materializes.”
