About The Original Pillow
Grace's original design of the first Pro-Life Prayer Pillow.
The Pro-life Prayer Pillow was started in prayer through a girl named Grace when she was seven years old. After a holy hour for life (an hour spent in prayer with Jesus), she told her mom that she wanted to make something, sell it, and "give the money back to mommies so that they could buy diapers and not do abortions."
When her mom asked her what she wanted to make, she said, "I want to sew a cross and stuff that cross and on the cross I want to put a baby...because those babies suffer like Jesus suffered on the cross. Then," she said, " I want to put a heart with rays of light coming from that baby..."
The first Pro-life Prayer Pillow was then created by Grace and her family in 2012. Since then, seamstresses and volunteers have gotten involved, new designs have been created and tens of thousands of dollars have been donated to pro-life groups and women in need.

Proceeds from the original Pro-life Prayer Pillow (pictured on left) are donated to pro-life organizations or the proceeds are used to purchase items directly for abortion-minded women and their children (diapers, baby items, etc.).
Proceeds from all other Pro-life Prayer Pillows (see store for all pillow options) go directly toward our Pro-life Educational Fund. This fund supports the pro-life education that we are doing in the schools - bringing ultrasounds and a pro-life, pro-God, pro-family message to our youth (go to presentations to find out more). |
