An experienced woodworker is using his talents to help bring healing to women suffering after abortion. Tom Furtado spoke to the National Catholic Register recently about the motivation behind his ministry, More Than a Memory .
After he personally witnessed the profound difficulty his own mother experienced when a serious lung problem prevented her from physically mourning the death of her adult son, he thought of all the women who feel unable to grieve the loss of their children to abortion. These mothers have no tombstones to visit, and usually lack physical items to remember their children by.
“Their need and desire to grieve is every bit as real as that of any other parent who has lost a child,” Furtado told the Register. “Unlike other parents, however, they have none of the supports to help them through it. In fact, half of our society dismisses their grief as unnecessary.”
He resolved to use his gift of woodworking to create small wooden boxes, each topped by a small cross, though he will also use other religious symbols by request. The boxes are reminiscent of tiny caskets, a fitting reminder of the humanity of the preborn person. Furtado calls them “memory boxes,” and he hopes they help women acknowledge both the reality of their child’s existence and the value of their life.

“For the courageous women who honestly face the error of a past abortion, it is my hope that my boxes confirm what these women know, but never hear: they have a need to grieve — that their baby not only was, but is real,” he said. “Their past failure to express love for their child should not and does not prevent them from experiencing love for their babies now. Forgiveness is possible.”
Feedback from women who receive the boxes has been overwhelmingly positive.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
