Watch the FULL timelapse of the '22 #MarchforLife! We estimate ~150,000 people. The cold couldn't dampen the spirits of the Pro-Life Generation who knew we were celebrating the last anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The largest human rights march in the world IS against abortion.
New York Times just covered protests in Minnesota
The March for Life was yesterday
100,000 people attended to defend unborn babies
The media said nothing
"My son brought home a classmate who smelled like cigarettes and wore the same shirt three days straight.
Connor's eight. Came home Tuesday and said, "Mom, can Aiden come over? His house doesn't have internet for homework."
Aiden showed up. Skinny kid, unwashed hair, shoes held together with duct tape. Flinched when I touched his shoulder.
"You hungry?" I asked.
He nodded. Ate four sandwiches without looking up.
While the boys did homework, I noticed Aiden had no backpack. Just papers shoved in his jacket. His math worksheet had the wrong answers, but clearly he'd tried hard. Real hard.
"Aiden, want me to check your work?"
"My dad usually helps, but he's..... busy." The way he said 'busy' made my stomach hurt.
Connor whispered to me later, "Aiden's dad is sick. Real sick. And his mom left last year."
Aiden started coming over daily. Always hungry. Always grateful. Never asked for anything.
One evening, he didn't leave. Just sat on our couch at 8 p.m., staring at his phone.
"Aiden? Doesn't your dad wonder where you are?"
"He's sleeping. He sleeps a lot now."
Red flags everywhere. I drove him home. The apartment was dark, freezing cold. His dad answered the door, rail-thin, coughing. "Sorry. I work nights, sleep days. Aiden knows to manage."
He was lying. No night job. Just too sick to care for his kid.
I did something maybe I shouldn't have. Called CPS? No. I just started showing up.
Brought dinner "by accident-made too much." Picked up Aiden for school "since we're heading that way anyway." Bought Connor new shoes and coincidentally grabbed a pair "in the wrong size, can Aiden use them?"
Aiden's dad, Mike, finally broke down one Saturday. "I have stage four liver disease. No insurance. Can't work. Can't afford treatment. I'm trying to keep us afloat until...... until I can't anymore. Then he goes to foster care."
"What if he didn't?" I said.
My husband and I aren't rich. We're barely middle class. But we had a spare room.
Mike moved in three months ago. Hospice comes twice weekly. He's in our downstairs bedroom. Aiden's upstairs in what used to be my craft room.
It's not legal guardianship. It's not foster care. It's just...... what you do.
Mike's got maybe six months left. He watches Aiden and Connor play video games from his bed, tears streaming down his face. "He's laughing again," he whispers. "I forgot what that sounded like."
Last week, Aiden called me "Mama Lisa" by accident. Turned bright red. "Sorry, I meant"
"It's okay, sweetheart," I said.
Mike heard it. Squeezed my hand. "Thank you for letting me stay long enough to see him okay."
I don't know what happens when Mike dies. Maybe Aiden stays. Maybe we figure out custody. Maybe it gets complicated.
But right now? Two boys are doing homework at my kitchen table. One of them finally has shoes that fit.
Sometimes saving someone doesn't look like a big heroic moment. Sometimes it looks like extra sandwiches. Wrong-sized shoes. A spare bedroom.
Pay attention to the kid in your child's class who wears the same clothes. Who's always hungry. Who doesn't get picked up on time.
You don't need to be perfect. You just need to notice.
And maybe make one extra sandwich."
Let this story reach more hearts....

🚨 JUST IN. Nick Shirley’s right hand man David Hoch just confirmed what many suspected. This is about to explode. And it is TEN TIMES WORSE.
A second video drops Monday. Worse than the first. Shocking. Graphic. Undeniable.
David has spent seven years digging into this. Not weeks. Not months. Seven years.
Here are the facts he laid out.
Five years of CCAP child care assistance payments. Top 102 recipients. Eighty four are Somali owned.
How many children has he personally seen at those centers over seven years. Zero. Not one.
Then there is Great Start money. Funds meant to train staff. If there are no kids, there is no staff. Yet the money keeps flowing.
And this is the core of it.
Non emergency medical transportation.
Minnesota recognizes 1,020 NEMT companies. Nearly 900 are Somali owned.
Nick Shirley and David visited 16 of them for the second video. David has visited about 70 total.
They do not exist.
Fake addresses. Empty buildings. No operations. No patients. Just taxpayer money disappearing.
This is not a mistake. This is not mismanagement. This is organized fraud on a massive scale.
David Hoch is a patriot. And the people involved are terrified because the truth is finally coming out.
"Your wife is not your servant, your wife is not your employee, your wife is not your slave. She is your helper. You are not rivals. You are one flesh working for the glory of God."

@Riley_Gaines_ And then President Trump says he hates his enemies! 😳 I pray later, he thinks about everything he heard today and bends His knee to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
I forgive him because that’s what Christ did and that’s what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate, the answer we know from the gospel is love… love for our enemies. And love for those who persecute us. - Erika Kirk
@sgruber91 Me too, Seth! Humbled me and made me think of a few people I need to forgive. And those people I need to forgive didn’t murder my husband. #forgivelikeJesus#CharlieKirk
Frank Turek: “Charlie Kirk is in heaven right now not because he was a great husband and father, not because he saved millions of kids out of darkness on college campuses, not because he changed minds and chased votes to save the country, not because he sacrificed himself for His Savior. Charlie Kirk is in heaven because His Savior sacrificed himself for Charlie Kirk.”
I can't remember a gathering with a number of of speakers so consistently presenting the saving message of Jesus Christ -- the Gospel. What a blessing this has been. Closest thing to a national, perhaps global revival, that we've witnessed in decades.
🚨BREAKING: Tucker Carlson gives remarks at Charlie Kirk's Memorial Service.
"Recognize the real problem is that I am how fallen I am. And that was the reason that Charlie was fearless, at all times truly fearless, until his last moment, he was unafraid. He is not defensive, and there is no hate in his heart."
"Any attempt to extinguish the light causes it to burn brighter—every single time. So, as we proceed into whatever comes next, and clearly something is coming next, remember this moment."
"Remember being in a room with the holy spirit humming like a tuning fork. This is the way right here, this is the way that is what Charlie Kirk was saying underneath it all."
