Funding abortion is an act of radical love, compassion, mutual aid, and community care! Do you even need another reason to support the work of New River Abortion Access Fund? I don't.

I volunteer with another abortion fund that collaborates with NRAAF to help patients fund their procedure. NRAAF has always been responsive and helpful and they are an asset to all Virginians and people who travel to Virginia for abortion care.

I’ve been volunteering for the past few months. The group has been welcoming and I’ve learned a lot about abortion access and funding. During this time with Roe V Wade overturned, it’s important to continue to provide access to people and I am happy to be part of that.

My experience with NRAAF is as a donor and volunteer. The board is so passionate and compassionate about this work. This fund fills a huge need in southwestern Virginia, and their aid spreads across the state. NRAAF has been able to make a huge difference by subsidizing a gap in women's healthcare that our health insurance should really be covering.

I've been with NRAAF for over 2 years now, starting as a volunteer, then a board member, and now also an employee. It has been amazing to be involved as the fund has grown and changed to better support the needs of our callers in an ever-changing and difficult abortion access landscape. Proud to be part of this organization and excited for its future!

Working with NRAAF over the past year+ has been amazing. In such a short time, and despite all the challenges of the pandemic, the fund has provided financial and practical support to hundreds of people seeking abortion care in southwest Virginia and across the state. So proud of this organization!!

The New River Abortion Access Fund is working hard to make abortion more affordable and accessible in Appalachia, which is why I love them so much. I'm glad an abortion fund finally exists in this area. Thank you for all of the work you do!

The work performed by this non-profit is critical. The right to abortion should not be contingent on one's income - everyone has the legal right to abortion and NRAAF makes this a practical right as well, which might not otherwise be the case for the women it serves.

The work of NRAAF has always been important, and now as we see U.S. governments trying to turn back the clock, resurrecting initiatives that allow men to dictate the rights that women have over their bodies, NRAAF's work is clearly vital.

I've got so much love & support for this mission, the organization, and the volunteers who are deeply committed to this work. My experience with NRAAF has been life changing.

Please invest in abortion funds. They do lots of amazing work and are in need of your support. The best thing you can do is connect with a local fund and contribute your time, money, expertise, and other resources to help build capacity and raise some much-needed funds. Thank you.
