Mrs. Carter

Mrs. Carter, a married woman in her thirties, immigrated with her husband to the U.S. a few years ago. She was taking birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, but she forgot her pills while traveling and subsequently became pregnant. Unfortunately, the Carters make very little money and they already have one child to support on their meager salary. They can’t afford to take care of another child right now. The Carters have been working hard to improve their lives in this country; Mrs. Carter is currently studying to take the licensing exam to become a practicing American physician. She doesn't want to sacrifice her career and her family’s future by having another child. The cost of terminating her pregnancy was $400 and because of the help of our generous donors, Lilith was able to offer financial assistance towards her abortion. Mrs. Carter was grateful for our help and she recently called our hotline to express her thanks and to report that her procedure went well.
