Listed below are the testimonies of people who have been helped by Project Rachel. At the time of their writings, each was in a stage of healing, and some had already healed. The authors are all good and holy people who write, not only to help themselves to heal, but to help others, by sharing their stories and their hearts.

If you have been touched by abortion in some way, and feel that writing may be a help to you, we would be honored to add it to this page. In some way, you may be able to help heal a heart, or even keep a heart from breaking, before an abortion decision is made.
