Local Programming: Women's Medical Fund Benefit April 26th

Via email:

Please consider yourselves invited to a party to benefit the Philadelphia Women's Medical Fund. The Fund provides no-interest loans to low-income women who have chosen abortion but can't afford the cost of a safe, legal procedure. Some of these women are victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, many have health problems complicated by pregnancy, all face difficult choices. The average income for women seeking assistance from the Fund is about $400 a month; for most women this has to support them and two children. By providing small loans--usually $50 to $250--the Fund is able to help women maintain their dignity, independence, and hopes for a better life.

Times are tough for lots of folks, but the burden is falling especially heavily on poor women seeking to access abortion and other reproductive health services. Please consider coming out and having a drink to support a great cause!

P.S. And if this date doesn't work or if you're not into going to a bar, the Fund's Spring Reception is May 21. Let me know you're interested and I can send you more info!

A story of a woman who received WMF Funding:

S.K., a 25-year-old mother of three, including three-year-old twins, was poised to begin a new life. She was about to start classes in a local university's nursing program, and she was awaiting her first paycheck from her new job as a nurse's aid. WMF helped her with $50, which enabled her to pursue her dream of independence.
