FAQs

Please ask the clinic or abortion fund assisting you to make a referral to us on your behalf. If we are able to support you we will be in touch within 24-48 hours from the time we receive the referral. Visit our need support page for more information.

While we prefer to be in touch with you as soon as possible, we understand that sometimes timing is out of your control. Please call your clinic or funding organization to be referred to us as soon as possible

We understand that it is often ideal (and sometimes required by the clinic) to have a companion for your travels. Please let us know if your companion is in need of financial support for their travel as well and we will do all we can to support them. If it is required by the clinic or for your ability to travel, we will guarantee support.

This depends on where you live and the type of procedure you are seeking. If you need assistance finding an abortion provider, please visit Need Support? to get information about our partner clinics and other clinics around the country

We Testify
We Testify is an organization dedicated to the leadership and representation of people who’ve had abortions, increasing the spectrum of abortion storytellers in the public sphere, and shifting the way the media understands the context and complexity of accessing abortion care. We Testify invests in abortion storytellers to elevate their voices and expertise, particularly those of color, those from rural and conservative communities, those who are queer-identified, those with varying abilities and citizenship statuses, and those who needed support when navigating barriers while accessing abortion care.
