Eduardo Verástegui hosts L.A. benefit to open free pregnancy care medical center

eduardo.jpgThis Sunday, May 23, actor, producer and human rights advocate Eduardo Verástegui will headline the first ever Latino United for Life Family Congress at the Los Angeles Convention Center from 8a to 7p.
"The funds raised... will be used to open a medical center in Los Angeles that provides free, high-quality care for pregnant women and their preborn babies," stated Verástegui in a press release.

"The Guadalupe Medical Center will be located in an area that has 10 abortion facilities. Therefore, our center will be an oasis of life in the midst of a desert of death," Verástegui continued....
The "special focus" of the center will be to "restor[e] honor and dignity to Latinos," according to the statement. More from the release:

The United for Life Congress [click on poster, right, to enlarge] is a project of Manto de Guadalupe, an international aid organization that promotes human dignity throughout the world and brings relief to those suffering extreme poverty. Manto de Guadalupe's includes building homes, delivering food and medicine, and providing lifesaving assistance to impoverished pregnant women.




The line-up of entertainers includes singers Emmanuel and Alexander Acha, Mariachi Sol de Mexico, impersonator Gilberto Gless, and actress Karyme Lozano.
Speakers include former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson and the vibrant young Australian actor Nick Vujicic. Vujicic was born without limbs, but inspires people throughout the world with his powerful witness to the goodness, dignity and beauty of life. He and Verástegui co-starred in the award-winning short film, The Butterfly Circus.


Jason Jones, founder of the Human Rights Education and Relief Organization (HERO), will speak as well....
For more information about the event go to MantodeGuadalupe.org. Order tickets at WAN Tickets.
I checked with organizers, and they're developing an English version of the website now, but it isn't ready.
I also asked about making donations. Do that here. Instructions for mailing or wiring checks is in Spanish but can be figured out. The "Donate" button for online giving is in English!
carla and eduardo.JPGI don't know the others but think the world of Eduardo, Jason, Abby, and Nick and so appreciate their heart for pregnant mothers and preborn babies.
What a great idea to open this life-giving medical center in the heart of L.A., surrounded by death.

As a pro choice woman I applaud the work he is doing to assist pregnant women in need... So long as it gives them real choice. And yes, he is pretty hot!
