Emergency abortion funding needed - Women's Medical Fund - Acceptiva

stfuconservatives:

I got this email from the Women’s Medical Fund today:

Today we learned of a vulnerable woman who needs financial assistance that far exceeds the support that WMF routinely provides.

Deena* is a 28-year-old mother of two who suffers from a major chronic illness. During prenatal care, an ultrasound found that she is carrying a fetus with a rare and dangerous anomaly.

In the midst of dealing with the news of this pregnancy, Deena faced yet another traumatic setback — the tragic death of a sibling.

It has taken several weeks, but with the help of staff from three different agencies involved in her care, Deena has an appointment for her abortion. Due to health concerns, she must have her procedure in a hospital. The cost is $3,110.

Deena supports her young family with her monthly Social Security benefit of $800. They live in a rented room for which she pays $500 per month. Deena uses Medicare for her health care coverage, but is prohibited by law from using it to pay for her abortion. She can contribute $10 toward the cost of her procedure. 

Can you help us provide Deena with $3,100 so that she can have her procedure? If WMF supports her with existing funds, we would have to turn away dozens of other women or girls with more routine needs. Instead, we are turning to you today to request an emergency contribution to restore Deena’s right to choose.

I kicked in $25. Please, please signal boost and consider making a donation.
