Welcome to Silent No More Awareness Florida. My name is Jeff Joaquin and I am eternally grateful that you have made it this far to read my Welcome Page...I am sure that there was great hesitation and anxiety as you clicked the link because it is always difficult to address decisions that we have made in the past...but do not worry, because everyone here at Silent No More has walked the same pathway to healing that you have just started....so CONGRATULATIONS.....
If you are struggling with the memory of an abortion experience, you have come to the right place for "judgement-free" hope and healing. Silent No More was created to bring light into the darkness of your pain and to provide you the pathway to healing.
When I received the call at 17 years old(37 years ago) from my girlfriend that she was pregnant all I could think of was my upcoming college football(and future NFL) career....This pregnancy was a "hurdle" in the way of my athletic goals that I had set for myself, and there was no way that I was ready to be a Father.....So instead of supporting my girlfriend in this difficult decision, I borrowed $200 from a friend and drove my girlfriend to an abortion clinic in Providence, Rhode Island and we paid a complete stranger to take the life of my unborn son in the womb of my girlfriend, I had sacrificed my son on the altar of convenience and I had denied my fatherhood at such an early age....
I thought that I had put this issue behind me as I was getting ready to go off to college, but I couldn't have been more wrong.....The world had told me that this was the "solution" to the unplanned pregnancy and they didn't tell me anything about the pain, guilt, regret, secrecy and imprisonment that this would cause......All of this shame led to alcohol and drug abuse in my college years which ended up ruining me getting drafted into the NFL, so not only did I not achieve my dream but I was heavily burdened with the guilt of killing my unborn son...
It wasn't until I confessed my sins to Jesus at the age of 38 that I was finally set free from the 21 year self-imprisonment that I was serving....The GOOD NEWS is that you have started that process to hope and healing and you too can be set free from your pain and suffering.....
What I have found in the last 4 or 5 years as I have travelled the Country telling of my abortion healing story is that I get the healing that I need when I share my suffering with others....whether it was the 16 year old girl at a local Florida High School or the 82 year old man in Philadelphia that both confessed their abortive sins, we are all precious in God's eyes and honored and He wants to set us free from the pain and suffering that we are experiencing.
I am available to have a confidential conversation (813-927-2484) with you at your convenience to help you walk the path to hope and healing.....You have already shown great courage in reading this welcome page so please take the next step and make the call and set yourself free from the captivity.....
Please know that you are in my prayers......
