Des Champs said that Sierra had an abortion scheduled for October 14 and his hope is to raise money for the expectant mother to choose to keep the baby. The 23-year-old helps raise money for Let Them Live, a nonprofit organization that helps “abortion-minded” mothers financially and emotionally, according to its website.
“We are trying to raise money for this young mom to pay her medical bill and to pay her rent,” the person who was live-streaming Des Champs said. “Everything she needs to choose life.”
