Last summer, Tara appeared at the Fund's office, with her husband and 6-year-old daughter in tow. She admitted to a drug problem and said her in-laws were practicing "tough love" by throwing her out. She'd been on the streets for a couple of days - it was all a blur. She had $150 and wanted to get an abortion before she spent that on more drugs. The Fund gave her the number of a drug and alcohol hotline, and lent her $250 -- which they sent directly to the clinic -- so she could get the abortion immediately. Nearly a year later, the Fund received this note:

"...I am very grateful to you for loaning me $250 for an abortion procedure this past summer. At the time I was living in a motel and could not even feed my two children. I had to steal food and was arrested for it. My husband and I were in an active addiction to drugs and alcohol, and it wasn't long after the procedure that my children were taken and placed in a foster home. I now have 8 months sobriety with the help of NA and AA, and I have a new home that's stable. My kids came home on May 1st. I feel indebted to you but cannot afford anything to repay your services. Every day is a struggle to cover my bills."
