Dear
Supporter,Over the last 50 years, we've heard the words "I can't
afford it" countless times from our patients. As
unemployment and insurance rates take a dangerous toll on
Illinois women and their families, we're hearing them more and
more. As always, Planned Parenthood of Illinois is firmly
committed to serving everyone in our community, regardless of
their ability to pay. That's why
your regular support is so important right
now.This is
your last chance to renew your Planned Parenthood membership,
and I sincerely hope you do. Renewing
your membership helps
make it possible for our 17 health centers across the state to
provide quality medical services millions of women, men and
teens are relying on.I know you'd rather see Planned Parenthood
spend more time focused on those who rely on us and less time
focused on fundraising. And that's exactly what your membership
does. Reliable supporters like you provide the strong
foundation Planned Parenthood needs to focus on we do best:
protect and promote women's health.Click here
to make your renewal contribution before your membership
expires.In this political and economic climate, we
need to raise the dollars it takes to provide the quality
reproductive health care for which we're known to a rising
number of Illinoisans in need. Over 90% of our care is
primary and preventative, and we continue to rely on the
financial support of individuals just like
you.
Nearly three-quarters of the women served
by Planned Parenthood health centers live at or below 150% of
the federal poverty line. That's less than $33,075 a year for a
family of four — and for too many people, that's just not
enough to afford quality care anywhere else. Your
support helps us be there, every day, for the people who need us
most.You and I know the
crucial importance of access to health care, now more than ever.
As legislators continue to treat women's lives like bargaining
chips, we will continue to fight against anti-choice
legislation. And we need your help to do
it.
Stand with Planned Parenthood of
Illinois today by taking this last chance to renew your membership now,
before it expires.Thank you for
supporting Planned Parenthood of Illinois and the tens of
thousands of women, men and teens who rely on us for
contraception and other family planning services as well as
life-saving breast and cervical cancer screenings. We couldn't
do this without you. |
