A Very Special Thank You, on a Very Special Day – Terri’s Birthday!

December 3, 2009 (Message from Terri's Foundation)

Because of this very special day, the day of Terri’s birth, everyone at Terri’s Foundation would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our friends for supporting the work we are doing advocating for the value and dignity of our most vulnerable.

Today, Terri would have been 46 years of age and there is not a day that goes by that we don’t think of her. It is because of Terri’s needless and inhuman death that we established the foundation in her honor to protect others like her.

With the emails, phone calls and letters we receive on a daily basis, it is apparent to us that Terri is continuing to have an indelible impact on us all. And just as we have been doing since her untimely death, we will remain dedicated to helping all those family’s that are fighting to protect their loved ones.

Please know how much we value all of your support that you have so graciously offered these past years. As this battle to protect our most vulnerable rages on, we gain strength to continue this fight knowing that we do not stand alone, but that you are there fighting with us.

I have a feeling that many more will be in the same circumstances in the future.

Send Jailed Pro-Life Heroine Linda Gibbons a Christmas Card

November 30, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Supporters of Linda Gibbons are disseminating the following information to encourage support for the Canadian pro-life sidewalk counsellor:

Linda Gibbons has been a “common criminal” for many years now.  For fifteen years, since 1994, this grandmother has been in and out of Ontario prisons. Her totally accumulated jail time is seven years.  What is her crime?  Linda prayerfully and quietly witnesses in front of Ontario abortion clinics, in violation of an unjust "bubble zone" law. 

This past session has been particularly onerous - she has been behind bars since last January, and this will be her second consecutive Christmas in jail.

Please consider sending Linda a Christmas card this year.  She will be encouraged and uplifted by your thoughtfulness. To maximize the effectiveness of this initiative, why not talk to your pastor and see if you can put this message in your church bulletin?  Why not pass this message along to family and friends?

Her address is:

Attention: Linda Gibbons
Vanier Center for Women
655 Martin Street, Box 1040,
Milton, Ontario
L9T 5E6, Canada

There are some mailing guidelines because the Detention Centre mailing department reads everything sent to the inmates:

1. Don't use stickers (address, return address, pro-life) on the envelope or card.
2. Don't send any laminated cards, bookmarks, prayer cards, pro-life pamphlets. Non-laminated items will get to her.
3. Don't ask direct questions about daily activity of the detention centre.
4. Put your address directly in the card or letter. (Sometimes the mail sorter keeps the envelope and Linda feels badly if she can't write back.)
5. If you would like to send a little monetary gift to Linda it must be a money order made out to “Linda Gibbons.” The detention centre will deposit the money directly to her account. She uses any donations for envelopes and stamps.
6. Many people add a variety of Christian reading material in their mailings to her. She often shares articles with others in the Centre. She can receive pro-life material that show the development of the baby but not post abortion photos. She can't receive books. Try to stick to one or two pages of reading materials or pamphlets.

God bless the Schindler family, and all who do God's work in Terri's name.

Happy birthday Terri.

Hope Terri’s dear Mother, Mary, sees how very much we all still
mourn her precious daughter!!

What a privilege to have fought for her life.

Forgive us, Lord, that we did not prevail.
