Dear Friends and Family of ABBA,

At ABBA Charities, we have always believed that true ministry means walking alongside women, children, and families—not just for a moment, but through every season of need.

Today, I am coming to you with a very special and urgent request.

Over the last several months, we have witnessed God moving in powerful ways through ABBA. We have had the privilege of serving families who have courageously stepped into special adoption circumstances, opening their hearts and homes to children with extraordinary medical and emotional needs. These families have said “yes” to love despite facing unexpected medical expenses, specialized care, and additional adoption-related costs.

At the same time, we are experiencing an overwhelming increase in the needs of women we are serving—many facing difficult life circumstances and challenges that extend beyond the traditional scope of adoption support. Women in crisis pregnancies, mothers needing stability and resources, and families requiring ongoing encouragement and practical care are turning to ABBA for hope.

And we believe they deserve to be served well.

Not partially. Not temporarily.

Wholeheartedly. Compassionately. Completely.

Because every woman deserves hope. Every child deserves stability. Every family deserves support.

Today, the need is greater than ever.

While we celebrate every life saved and every family strengthened, the reality is that the fight for life is far from over. Women continue to face overwhelming circumstances, and many are searching for hope-filled alternatives and compassionate support. Here in Arkansas, the need for life-affirming resources remains urgent, and we are committed to continuing this important work.

At ABBA, we believe being pro-life means more than simply advocating for life—it means walking alongside women when life feels impossible. It means offering real solutions, real support, and real hope.

We are committed to helping women choose life, supporting them through crisis, empowering them with resources, and caring for them beyond the moment of decision. At the same time, we are standing beside adoptive families courageously saying “yes” to children with extraordinary needs and circumstances.

Our desire is not simply to meet immediate needs—but to expand the support services necessary to provide ongoing care, encouragement, practical resources, counseling, life planning, and holistic support for the women and families entrusted to us.

At the same time, we are facing another significant challenge that directly impacts our ability to continue serving families for years to come.

For 22 years, our office has been more than a building. It has been a place of hope. It is where frightened women found support, where birth mothers received encouragement, where adoptive families began their journeys, and where countless lives have been forever changed.

Today, that office is facing major structural issues that require substantial repairs. These repairs can no longer be delayed. While we have faithfully stewarded this property and paid it off, we have reached a critical point where significant investment is necessary to preserve and strengthen the place where ministry happens every day.

The reality is difficult to share, but important to say: if we are unable to secure the funding necessary to meet the growing needs of the families we serve and address these critical structural concerns, we may be forced to consider selling the office that has been home to this ministry for more than two decades.

We do not share this to create fear. We share it because we believe in transparency and because this mission is worth fighting for.

Every day, women, children, and families walk through our doors seeking hope. We want to ensure those doors remain open for the next woman facing a crisis pregnancy, the next child needing a loving family, and the next family searching for support.

In a very short period of time, we are prayerfully seeking to raise $85,000 to help meet these urgent and growing needs.

Your generosity will help:

• Assist families facing extraordinary medical and adoption-related expenses
• Provide practical support and care for women in crisis situations
• Expand ongoing support services for families and birth mothers
• Help us continue offering life-affirming alternatives and compassionate care to women facing unplanned pregnancies
• Address critical structural repairs to our office so we can continue serving families for years to come
• Help us meet urgent needs as they arise with compassion and excellence

Would you prayerfully consider making a gift to this campaign?

No gift is too small, and every dollar helps us continue saying “yes” to women in crisis, vulnerable children, and families courageously stepping into difficult but beautiful circumstances.

Friends, we cannot do this alone.

But together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus to women who feel overwhelmed, children who need stability, and families saying yes to extraordinary love.

If ABBA has ever touched your life, inspired you, walked beside your family, or aligned with your heart for life, hope, healing, and love—we humbly ask you to stand with us now.

Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping us love people well.

Feel free to give through this campaign or you may mail a check to: ABBA Charities: 422 W. Sevier St. Benton, AR 72015

With gratitude and hope,

Kandi M. Cox

P.S. 22 years ago, I sat down and began the journey of ABBA. I'd like to share with you my heart with you which I wrote on my Substack:

For 22 years, ABBA has been a place where women found hope, children found families, and lives were changed forever. With your help, we can continue that mission for the next 22 years.
