2009 Annual Report

k y o u!
Th an
Thank you for your investment in Care Net Pregnancy Services of Northern Kentucky in 2009! It was a difficult
financial year for many but because of your commitment, Care Net was able to make a tangible difference in the
lives of our clients. Through our many life-affirming programs and services, we offered hope and peace to those
facing very challenging life situations and our mentors continue to report seeing first-hand the positive change
Care Net has made in the lives of our clients. As an added blessing in 2009, we are proud to report that, through
encouragement and restored hope, many clients (both male and female) have decided to continue their
education by enrolling in college, trade schools or by pursuing their GED. Please be assured that your support
has made a difference to our community in a very positive way and it will continue to be a great investment in
2010 as we continue our mission to “empower people for life”.

his GED and has now enrolled in the Northern

program... 
 
“I am bettering my education so that I 
can provide (my child) with a better

in the same environment as I did and I 
want her to be healthy.”
