Options Now 2025 Calendar
We Are God’s Masterpiece!
“For we are God’s Masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.”
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
Have you ever considered that YOU are one of our Heavenly Father’s GREATEST WORKS? It’s not always easy to see ourselves with this immense value, but God does. Every minute, every day, He sees us as His masterpieces, created with love and purpose. The definition of “Masterpiece” speaks to this: “the greatest work of a person’s career.” Knowing that our Creator knits us together with His own hands for His purpose is transformative.

We Are God’s Masterpiece • 2025
Imagine what a difference this perspective can make not only in our lives but also in the lives of those we encounter. From where does the value of life come? When we understand our worth in God’s eyes, the value of life becomes immeasurable. At Options Now, we are humbled and grateful for the privilege of sharing this truth with the women and families we serve. It’s a calling that brings hope, empowerment, and often profound change.
God has had His hand on my life, and He planned good works for me long ago. My commitment to this mission is deeply personal. My grandparents were holocaust survivors. My grandmother, Nona, was rescued from Dr. Mengele’s forced sterilization program by a Jewish doctor who at great personal risk, spared her life with an act of secret mercy.
After removing one ovary, he spared the other. Although he later faced execution, his courage gave my grandmother (and many other women) a chance to live and be blessed with four sons. Inspired by this legacy, my father, Sol Pitchon, led one of the nation’s largest Pregnancy Support Clinics for over two decades. He devoted his life to saving lives and told me I would one day carry on this legacy. “For such a time as this,” I am honored to continue the mission of protecting the unborn from what we view as the modern-day silent holocaust, as abortion claims the lives of over one million babies each year.
Looking ahead to 2025, I anticipate amazing things for this ministry. Through your prayers, generosity, and support, we are united in a cause that protects and cherishes life. We serve a Creator who delights in His creation, and with your partnership, we share that love, care, and hope with those who seek our help.
Thank you for standing with us as we enter a new year. Together, we can do great things as God’s unique Masterpiece. May He bless you and your family abundantly in 2025!

Kessiah • January 2025
Kessiah’s mom, Ebony, found Options Now by googling “free pregnancy facility.” She was not in a serious relationship and had thought for so long that she could not have kids. She was in shock to think that she might be pregnant. Her life had been going great until this came up.
She came to Options Now and found the staff pleasant and caring. When she learned she was pregnant, she didn’t let her circumstances of being a single mom stop her from having her baby. With the help and encourangement she received from the staff, she overcame her lack of support and finances. She even began to feel excited about having her baby.
Now Ebony is so proud of Kessiah. “He is the happiest baby! Always smiling! He captures the heart of everyone he meets. What a blessing he is!”
During the photo shoot, we were so amazed how sweet little Kessiah was and how patient, even when we were fussing and moving him around for all his pictures.
Kessiah is God’s Masterpiece!
Kennedi • February 2025
Kennedi’s mom, Demetria, came to Options Now 14 years ago as a High School student. She thought she might be pregnant and didn’t know what to do. She found Options Now through a Google search, and thankfully, her mom brought her in to learn about all her options. After seeing the ultrasound and hearing the baby’s heartbeat, she was sure that she would carry and parent her baby.
Demetria says, “I am so thankful for Options Now. They were there for me throughout my pregnancy. I even attended all the Earn While You Learn classes to learn how to care for my newborn. With the Repeat Boutique gift certificates that I earned by taking the classes, they made sure that I had a crib, bassinet, and other baby items.”
Rashaun, now 14 years old, was featured in last year’s 2024 Options Now Calendar as a future Entrepreneur.
Two years ago, Demetria returned to Options Now when she thought she might be pregnant. This time, she mainly needed encouragement and emotional support. It had been nine years since she had her second child, and she was concerned that she wasn’t ready to have another baby and be a single mom with three children.
She says of her sweet little girl, “Kennedi just turned two years old and is a very happy and busy little girl!”
“Thank you for being here for us, Options Now! Thank you for all your prayers and support! I appreciate you, and I knew with your help, I could do this! Thank you so much!!”

Ruth says, “The generosity of Options Now really supported me while my husband was gone. They were so nice. They continued calling and following up with us during the pregnancy.”
Ruth says to those who might find themselves in similar circumstances, “Stay strong! It’s all God’s plan!”

Raiyana • August 2025
Raiyana’s mother, Rayana, searched for “pregnancy” online and found “Options Now.” She realized that the initial step was to verify her pregnancy.
“I didn’t know what to do and was considering the abortion pill, even though the father wanted to keep the baby. I went to Options Now for pregnancy testing and talked to Miss Tammy. She prayed for me and starting talking to me about my options. Later, when I saw the ultrasound, I realized that this was “my” baby. I started believing this was something that I could do. I love Miss Tammy for that!”
Raiyana’s third birthday was July twenty-third. She is in school and just graduated to her next class. “I love everything about her! She is my little twin!”
Rayana would tell any woman in similar circumstances, “Do the right thing and don’t let anybody tell you the wrong things. Pray!!”
