Terri Schiavo

March 31st is the anniversary of Terri Schiavo's death.  Ever since I met her brother Bob, I have been convicted that there are many who need our voices, born and preborn.  I hope you can join me in honoring Terri's memory.


Suggested Activities for Individuals, Families, Parishes, and Schools 
  • Say the prayer in Remembrance of Terri each day during the week before and after “Terri’s Day”.
  • Conduct or participate in a parish or school essay contest about what happened to Terri, and the issues surrounding care for the disabled and their right to life.
  • Create and publicize a website in honor of Terri.
  • Invite a speaker to your school, parish, or community organization to address issues surrounding the care of the disabled.
  • Organize a letter writing campaign in remembrance of Terri by one or more individuals to local papers or blogs.
  • Spend time volunteering at a nursing home or hospital.
  • Spend time with a disabled friend or relative.
  • Donate to the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation as a way of reaching out to other families who face similar challenges.
  • Write to or visit elected officials regarding legislation that would increase protection for people facing circumstances like Terri did.
  • Fill out, and make others aware of the “Will to Live,” as available atwww.nrlc.org/euthanasia/willtolive/index.html.
  • Register to vote and participate in elections. Challenge candidates on their views regarding Terri and those who face the same challenges and dangers she did.

"I am a human, like everyone else."

"When I asked how he wanted to be described, his eyes teared up and he said 'I am a human, like every one else."

What do we do with people who are broken, bruised, addicted, stubborn, and stuck?  I say we love them hard!
