Her Story is a new feature at LilithFund.org. Each month we will feature a different true story of a woman assisted by Lilith in exercising her reproductive rights.
This month's story is about Corona.
Corona was just separated from her husband of seven years. They have one child together, and Corona has not worked since that child was born four years ago. Only days after her husband moved out, leaving her to pay the rent and utilities and single-handedly support their child, she discovered that she was pregnant. Although her husband has a steady income, he is unwilling to support her and has refused her requests for assistance in paying to terminate her pregnancy. Through her local clinic, Corona learned about the Lilith Fund. We were able to assist her with 25% of the cost of her abortion and were also able to refer her to another fund that could provide additional assistance. Because of this funding, Corona was able to pay for her abortion and alleviate at least a small portion of the substantial stress in her life right now.
