The funds will be used to support the young woman who was forced to give birth by the state, as well as her child, her sibling, and her mother, who has supported the family through this nightmare.

A teenage girl asked for help getting an abortion. Instead of receiving care and support, the state forced her to continue the pregnancy, and then removed her from her home and separated her from her family.

Now, this young mother, her baby, her sibling, and her mother are trying to rebuild their lives after a traumatic and deeply unjust experience.

This family has faced fear, instability, emotional trauma, and financial hardship simply because a young person asked for help with a pregnancy decision. While we are keeping all identifying details private to protect the family’s safety, their need is urgent and real.

Your donation will help provide immediate support for safe housing, transportation, childcare, food, clothing, medical and recovery needs, and basic day-to-day stability for the entire family as they heal and move forward together.

No family should be punished for seeking reproductive healthcare. No young person should lose their home or support system for asking for help.

Right now, this family needs community care more than ever.

Please donate if you can. Every contribution helps this family stay safe, supported, and together.
