Partnering With Collage To Serve Our Community

At Collage, we believe deep down that there is beauty and value in everyone. Often times though, we have a hard time seeing that beauty. Perhaps it’s buried under the rubble of past decisions or circumstances that life has handed us. But no matter how badly we’ve been broken and tarnished, the fact is, beauty remains, waiting to be uncovered.

This belief is what drives us to serve our community, and this belief is why others partner with us, allowing us to provide all of our services at no charge to those who need our help. We can’t do it alone. Any successful team thrives on the talents of many, and though we have a very gifted staff, it is your belief in what we do and your partnership that make it all happen.

As we said, a successful team thrives on the talents of many. We want to invite you to use your talents to help Collage serve our community. Now we don’t expect each of you to come in and answer calls from women who are struggling with an unexpected pregnancy, or to perform STD testing. We understand those things require very specific skill sets. But there are other ways you can use your talents to make a difference.

Partnering With Collage Financially

Collage is a non-profit organization that relies on the generous support of our donors to be able to provide a variety of services, such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STD testing and treatment and after abortion care to our communities in both Kearney and Grand Island. If you believe in our mission, perhaps a financial partnership is something you would consider.

Partnering With Collage By Providing Material Goods

Some of our supporters enjoy providing material assistance through in-kind gifts to Collage. This allows us to provide timely and much needed support to our clients. We maintain a “Wish List” of specific items that have been requested by clients or are items we use on a regular basis. For more information about partnering with us in this way please visit our In-Kind Gift page on our website.

Partnering With Collage Through Volunteering

We also have friends who partner with us by volunteering at Collage. Not all of our volunteers sit in a room with a client, though if that is something you’re interested in we’d love to talk. The best way to get involved through volunteering is to call the office, either in Kearney or Grand Island, and set up a time to come in and pick up a volunteer application. This will allow us to determine if we have any current opportunities available that are a good fit for you.

Partnering With Collage By Joining The Team

At Collage we have a team of wonderful people committed to finding beauty in the unexpected. While it’s not often we have a job opening, occasionally one of our team moves on to pursue other opportunities, whether that be another position, more time with family or a move out of town. When we do have an opening, we post that on our website. So if you’re interested in working at Collage feel free to check there for any opportunities.

We really couldn’t do what we do without the support of our community and those who also believe that there is beauty and value in everyone, sometimes just waiting to be discovered. If you believe that and you’re interested in getting involved with Collage in any of these ways, please feel free to click on the relevant heading for more info or give us a call at either location.

My Friends Are Telling Me to Abort, But I'm Not Ready

June 4, 2025

An unexpected pregnancy can leave you with more questions than answers. Especially when friends are urging you to choose abortion, you may be more confused than ever. While their advice might come from care or fear, it’s essential to remember this is your pregnancy, future, and choice. At Collage, we’re here to help you navigate this pressure and find a path that feels right for you so that you can feel informed and confident about your decision. Reach out to us today for no-cost support. Listen to Your Instincts Your friends might be an important part of your life, but your instincts matter most. If abortion doesn’t feel right, take a moment to ask: What’s holding me back? Maybe you’re picturing parenting your child or are curious about adoption. It’s also important to keep in mind that abortion is a serious procedure that your friends may not fully grasp the details of. Physical and emotional risks are involved, making it a more complex decision. Your hesitation is a sign to slow down and explore, not to rush into a choice you’re not ready for. Talk It Out If your friends keep pressing, try a gentle conversation. Let them know you understand they’re worried, you’re not sure about abortion yet. Ask what’s driving their advice. Maybe they’re scared about your finances or future. Maybe they’re simply telling you what they’d do in your situation, but that doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Understanding their side can ease tension without giving in. If they won’t respect your space, set boundaries and let them know you need time to think. You don’t owe them an immediate answer. Find Your Support Surround yourself with people who’ll lift you up, not pull you down. Write down your thoughts or talk to someone neutral. You can find a counselor or even online spaces where you can share your heart with those who won’t push one option over another. Even a trusted family member, a mentor, or a place like Collage can offer perspective without strings. You deserve to make this decision with clear facts and a steady heart, not under pressure. Help is Available If your friends are pushing abortion but you’re not ready, Collage is here with no-cost lab-quality pregnancy testing, limited obstetric ultrasounds, and pregnancy options education to help you decide what’s next. Our trained team offers confidential support to explore parenting, adoption, or abortion without pressure. Contact us for a no-cost appointment today. You deserve to choose your own path.

Hiding My Pregnancy: Would Abortion Be an Option?

May 21, 2025

An unexpected pregnancy can flip your world upside down, and the urge to keep it under wraps might hit hard. Maybe you’re thinking abortion could erase the situation quietly.

What to Do When Friends and Family Are Pressuring You into an Abortion Decision

April 2, 2025

What do you do when those closest to you start pushing you toward a decision that doesn’t feel right? Pressure from family or friends to choose abortion can leave you feeling stuck, unheard, and unsure of what to do next. How can you hold firm in your decision while dealing with well-meaning but overwhelming advice? Here’s what you can do to navigate this difficult situation with strength and resilience. Mental Health and Pressure Your decision should be your own—one that isn’t influenced by guilt or outside expectations. Studies show that women who feel pressured into abortion are more likely to experience guilt, anxiety, depression, and other negative mental health outcomes. Protecting your mental and emotional health starts with making a choice that aligns with what you truly want. Ways to Handle the Pressure Since you understand why this decision needs to be yours, here are some practical steps to help you handle outside pressure. Give Yourself Time You don’t have to decide right away. Take a moment, think through your feelings, and give yourself the gift to reflect without feeling rushed. You're less likely to regret a decision made on your terms. Learn About All Your Options Abortion isn’t your only choice. Parenting and adoption are also possibilities, each with its own forms of support and resources. Learning more about these options can help you make an informed decision you feel at peace with. Set Boundaries It can be tough to stand your ground when others have strong opinions about your decision. Clearly expressing your thoughts by setting boundaries can help you avoid unwanted pressure. Letting others know you need time and space to think can help shift the conversation away from their influence and back to what’s best for you. Advice from a Third Party Getting a different perspective on your situation can be helpful when seeking advice from someone outside your inner circle. This could be a professional counselor, an online support group, or a caring team member at Collage . You deserve people in your life who want to understand you without judgment. You Are Not Alone Even if those around you don’t fully understand, there are people who do. A supportive environment can make all the difference as you navigate this decision. Collage is here to walk with you during this time. We offer lab-quality pregnancy testing, limited OB ultrasounds, pregnancy options information, and more at no cost so you can get informed and have the support you need to move forward with certainty.
