Choose an ornament from the Christmas tree featuring an Amnion giving QR code and a specific gift amount that describes exactly what that gift provides: from pregnancy tests to ultrasounds to post-abortion counseling care. Choosing an ornament is choosing to meet real needs. Everyone can participate!
