The Journey Fund: Getting Women to Specialist Care
Something incredible happened recently that brings us one step closer to making sure no woman has to fight for complex gynecologic care alone.
Sixteen supporters stepped up, giving what they could at $7, $14, $28, and $56 a month, and we hit our very first fundraising milestone. One virtual consultation with our physician partner is now fully funded every single month.
For a client living with complex, unaddressed pain, that first meeting is everything. It is the moment she is finally heard, validated, and given a clear path forward. To our founding monthly donors, you made this possible. Thank you.
What we funded and care in motion
This work is not theoretical. It is changing lives right now.
We are currently walking alongside a client who is actively working through ongoing health issues with Dr. Corey Babb at Haven Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thanks to our donor community, we were recently able to cover her follow up appointment so she could keep receiving the care she needs.
Welcoming our newest donor
August brought new support. We want to give a special shoutout to our newest monthly donor, Alex, who joined our monthly donor team and officially kicked off step two of our mission.
Step 2: launching the Journey Fund
A virtual consult is only step one. Once a client is cleared, the next hurdle is getting her to the clinic in Tulsa for an in person, patient centered appointment.
Thanks to our partners, major pieces of this trip are already covered. Angel Flight donates free air transportation, and Lodgingly secures deeply discounted hotel rates.
But traveling with chronic pain is physically exhausting, and clients still need a safe, quiet place to land the day before. Arriving early is not a luxury. It ensures she can rest, recover, and feel ready for her appointment.
That is what the Journey Fund covers. Three nights of safe lodging in Tulsa, plus full care coordination, removing the final physical barrier between a client and the care she deserves. It takes $315 a month to fully support one client’s stay and travel logistics.
Thanks to Alex’s gift, the fund is already underway, leaving us just $301 a month away from our goal. We need roughly 10 to 12 more monthly partners giving at any level, $7, $14, $28, or $56, to bridge the rest of the gap.
