Lilith Fund: Abortion Help and Support in Texas
The Lilith Fund helps Texans get abortion care and builds power for reproductive rights. Since 2001, they provide money and emotional support to people who need abortions but can't afford them. With Texas laws making abortion nearly illegal, many people must travel to other states for care. The average cost is over $500, and some people travel 300+ miles. The fund helps low-income people, people of color, young people, and families who face the biggest barriers. They offer financial help through hotlines (877-659-4304 in English, 877-355-1461 in Spanish) and text support (512-872-5656). Beyond direct help, they organize communities and fight for better laws through campaigns like ReproPowerTX. They also help pay for other reproductive health services like contraceptives and gender-affirming care. The organization believes abortion care is health care and works to end the stigma around reproductive choices. They serve all of Texas including Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, helping over 3,700 people each year.
