Financial Assistance Fund

Donation protected
My name is Joel Espich. I'm a 20yr old trans guy in a tight financial situation. I am currently employed but I do not start working until June 10th.

As of writing this, I am approximately six weeks pregnant.  


I am scraping together as much money as I can to afford a safe and legal abortion. My insurance covers none of the expenses, and although I've reached out to several organizations that give financial assistance for abortion procedures, I've heard back from none of them so far.

I need to have the procedure done as soon as possible so that I can begin going through hormone replacement therapy. I am extremely dysphoric in my current state, and my mental health is suffering. 

Because of Indiana's abortion laws, I have to have a consultation before the actual procedure. The consultation is $275, and the actual procedure costs $450. They've also asked me to fill prescriptions for anti-nausea and anti-pain medications; I'm not sure how much these will cost, but I estimate the total to be around $750.

I need this money to continue living a normal life. I need to go through with the procedure as soon as I can. I see other states restricting abortions more and more daily, and I fear that it will eventually make its way to Indiana.
