JM is a 21-year-old full-time student at a university in South Jersey. She recently became pregnant and is unable to carry the pregnancy to term. Due to serious health conditions that resulted from a childhood cancer, JM must have her termination in a hospital setting. These procedures are far more expensive than those provided in a free-standing clinic.

Her financial need far exceeds the capacity of WMF to help, and so I am emailing to ask if you can make an emergency contribution so that she can safely terminate her pregnancy.

JM has thus far survived a double-lung transplant, lost a kidney, and faced multiple organ failure. She is now dealing with ongoing kidney disease. Her treatment has all taken place at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania; given her fragile medical state, as well as the familiarity of this hospital staff with her medical issues, she returned there for her pregnancy termination. JM is on Medicaid from New Jersey, but it will not cover the procedure in Philadelphia.

JM thus faces a funding gap of $3,010. She currently receives $700 per month from Social Security, which is her sole income. Her family supports her decision to terminate her pregnancy, but is unable to help her financially. She and her boyfriend, also a student, were able to cobble together $100. JM has turned to WMF, desperate for help to raise the funds she needs.

It is clear that this young woman deserves our funding, yet if WMF supports her fully, we would have to turn away ten to fifteen other women or girls with more routine needs. Instead, we are turning to you today to request an emergency contribution to help this woman terminate this pregnancy that poses serious risk to her health.

Please provide your support in either of two ways:
1) Make an immediate donation by credit card by clicking here.

2) Email judy@womensmedicalfund.org with the amount of your pledge and then send us a check. Mail to WMF, PO Box 40748, Philadelphia, PA 19107.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
