Why Heartbeat’s Generous donors contributed over $1,000,000 to establish Option Line. Now, we need to keep it going one day at a time, one woman at a time through the help of sustaining partners like you, people willing to say: “I am only one,
but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.” – Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909) It costs Heartbeat a little over $1,000 per day to answer the call via Option Line. If you are willing to underwrite a day, we invite you to pick a specific date, a birthday or anniversary, for example. We will contact you about the loved one you are honoring, and send that person a special card. Make a one-time gift of $1,000 if you wish or make a monthly pledge of $85 and your special day is covered.

One hour “Abortion already has hurt some of my friends deeply. I am a young mother, balancing life as a student nurse. But when I heard about Option Line, I thought, ‘even I can help out for an hour here and there.’ So I went online and paid for one hour of Option Line. If my hour was average, about 14 lives were touched and perhaps forever changed. That is $50 well spent. I am going to do it again when I can.” One day “Option Line seemed like a great way to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. My Dad, no longer with us, devoted many hours and resources to the cause of life. Since Option Line ‘answers the call’ about 600 times every day, from all over the country, underwriting his birthday seemed like the perfect way to honor him and what his life was all about.” One week “Each one of our children receives a birthday card from Heartbeat telling about Option Line and how mothers and babies were saved in our child’s name. Our children love it. Supporting Heartbeat’s Option Line this way not only allows us to answer the real needs of real women, it also allows us to convey to our children the value of life and the need to ‘walk the talk.’ We praise God for the opportunity.”
