The Sins of The Father Aren’t The Sins of The Child

"I hope if you run into a girl or woman one day who might be struggling with the decision to choose life for her baby (regardless of the circumstances), that you will think of me... especially if it wasn’t her fault, she shouldn’t be punished by having to go through another trauma [aborting her preborn baby], and her baby isn’t guilty either."

Crystal Blount is a remarkable woman with an inspiring and remarkable story! She survived the trauma of rape, and has taken the lemons she encountered in her life and made sweet lemonade, as the saying goes. Read Crystal's story for yourself and let it inspire you!

There are those that let the odds define them and those who strive to defy the odds. Valerie Gatto, Miss Pennsylvania USA 2014, is defining more than the odds with her positive outlook and the many contributions she is already making in our world.

Her story is one that could have ended in tragedy but her mother's courage set her on a course of triumph!

Valerie's mother was raped at knife-point but managed to escape her attacker, and though she conceived Valerie as a result of this crime, she chose to give Valerie the gift of life. Turning this negative into a positive has impacted Valerie's life for good in so many ways.
