The Race To Save A Baby’s Life

A reader writes:

I don’t know if you’ve seen this bouncing around the blogosphere, but a friend’s brother was featured on USA Today when his 26-yr-old pregnant wife died and he decided to try to keep her alive long enough to give birth. They’re almost there, but the cost is prohibitive. If you don’t mind blogging about it, the USA Today story is here:

Video of Jason is here:

My blog on it is here:

And the website to donate is

www.susantorresfund.org

Absolutely, I’d be happy to blog on the subject. I encourage folks to check out the above links. The story is heartbreaking, but there is real hope.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Thank you for posting that, Jimmy. Jason is a solid guy, as everyone can see from the interviews.

Jimmy,
The link for the Susan Torres Fund is broken. (It needs the http:// )
Pax vobiscum

Thanks! Link fixed.

I’ve tried to donate for half an hour now but every time I get to the end it tells me my session has expired (no matter how quickly I run through the process). Seems lik Paypal needs to fix something.
