EMA Fund needs help funding a 12-year-old rape survivor

Hi everyone,

We rarely make appeals for specific cases and specific women who call the EMA Fund for help, but today is a different story. We are currently fundraising for a 12 year old girl who was raped by an adult and became pregnant as a result.

Due to her circumstances, she is too far along in her pregnancy to terminate in Massachusetts and needs to travel in order to have her abortion. The total cost is $6500 and her procedure begins on Monday. We hope that you will consider donating now to help us raise enough money for this girl to receive the health care that she needs.

You can donate to the EMA Fund via the Network for Good website. If you make a donation online, please note in the designation box that it is for this girl. You can also send a check to the EMA Fund and designate your gift for this purpose. In either case, please also send an e-mail to emama@nnaf.org, so that we know your gift is on its way and we can increase our pledge to help this girl accordingly.

Visit our Facebook page.

PS - Please feel free to pass this message along to your like-minded friends, family, and colleagues.
