Support Planned Parenthood for Maddie's 21st

Hi everyone! My name is Maddie Pettis and I have decided to organize a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood in honor of my 21st birthday (April 13th). This year, I will be on month 3/4 studying abroad in Italy during my birthday. Living abroad and traveling has made me feel eternally grateful to my parents and family for all the opportunities they have given me. When I thought about the fact that there is nothing else I want/need on my birthday this year, I realized organizing a fundraiser for a cause I care about would be THE ultimate birthday “present.”

Planned Parenthood of America is an NGO that benefits millions of women and families across the country. They provide so many healthcare services, specifically pertaining to reproductive health. I have always been passionate about women’s rights issues and things are not looking great for women’s access to reproductive healthcare resources under our new “leadership” in the US. Planned Parenthood is a resource for pregnant women, women who need an abortion, people who want to practice safe sex, new parents, victims of sexual assault, and much more. Their services are extensive. I am part of the demographic that would seek the help of Planned Parenthood if needed- women my age, women I KNOW, are affected by whether or not Planned Parenthood continues to receive funding in the states. I would be so grateful for your help to stand with Planned Parenthood in a time where it is needed more than ever.
