"I didn't know what I was going to do. I was scared and
didn't know where to turn and the clinic and NH Fund for Choice helped me to sit
down and concentrate hard on where I might be able to access funds. After that
they helped me with the remaining amount so that I would be able to have my
procedure. I'll never forget the kindness of those women".
"I was incarcerated a few weeks into my pregnancy. I had
no job, no family help, no insurance and no money. I was completely dependent
on others to help me get an abortion. Without funding help I could not have had
an abortion".
"I was newly arrived in America. I came here with my
husband and four children. We were looking for work when I found out I was
pregnant. It was not a right time to have another child. We were already
struggling so much. New Hampshire Fund for Choice helped us to pay for our
abortion. Thank you".
"I was single mother of two kids already. I didn't even
have a place to live and was pregnant. My pregnancy partner took off and
wouldn't help pay for an abortion. He said he didn't care what happened. I was
receiving Medicaid insurance but they wouldn't pay for an abortion. I needed
help really bad. I borrowed as much as I could but it wasn't enough. The fund
helped and I was able to get my procedure. Why didn't my health insurance cover
the procedure?"
"My husband got hurt at work and was on workman's comp. We
were really struggling to pay our bills and did not have health insurance
coverage for our procedure. The clinic and the fund helped us during an very
difficult time".
