Patients express their appreciation for the help offered by the fund:

  1. There are very few out there that have the heart that you do. You are very strong for continuing to do the work you do for some women despite what society thinks. I am very grateful and honestly can not think of words to thank you. I will say that because of you I can have a choice. I can continue to raise the family I have and I can feel the power as a woman to live how I feel and to be heard. Without your support I could not be this strong.

  2. Dear Ms. Peggy Bowman, I just wanted to say thank you so very much. This was not something that I planned for my first year of college. I greatly appreciate the help that you have given me because without your help I’m not sure what I would have done. So again I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks a billion.
  3. To whom it may concern: I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help. And how very much I needed it. After my last pregnancy the doctors told me in my future pregnancies I would have complications. I have already had a few. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without your help. Thank you so very much. Always, M

  4. Thank you your assistance for me in my time of need. Your help made having a more comfortable procedure possible. I am a junior in college and have a lot of dreams ahead of me. Having a child right now wasn’t in the plan. With no one to help me or be there for me this was the only way. So once again, thank you.

  5. I don’t have the words to thank you for your donation. It has meant more than what you can think of. Has changed my life completely. I already have 4 children and I am a single mom so you can imagine what your donation has done to my whole family. I will always be grateful to you. May God Bless You Always.

  6. Thank you for helping me with this at my time of need. Thank you.

  7. Thank you so much. My husband seriously injured his hand last year at work and his employer did not have workman comp insurance. We are trying to pay over $20,000 in medical bills. We have two children and are struggling financially and will be for some time. Once I receive my Master’s degree we will be more financially stable but until then we are living week to week. This grant has been extremely helpful. Bless You.

  8. Hi, my name is T… and I just wanted to let you know how I most greatly appreciate you being here for girls like me in a single home who’s made a mistake. But God put people and things in your life for a reason and I thank you so very much for what you have done for me and my little family. May God Keep Blessing You.

  9. Thank you for assisting me with my payment. I feel it will be helpful in the end. God Bless You.

  10. I, T.K., am very thankful for the help. It really means a lot to me.

  11. It means a lot to me to have help from this fund. Without the extra money, I would not have been able to get the procedure and I am extremely grateful and relieved that I can. Thanks again,….

  21. I am thankful for the help that has been provided. I am pregnant by my ex-boyfriend that has been accused of murdering my 2 year old son by brunt force trama on Feb. 26, 2008. So if it wasn’t for this funding I wouldn’t have been able to go through this procedure. Thank You.

  22. I just wanted to thank you for helping me get a second chance to better my life, to be a better mother to my children, and change my life. I didn’t think I would of made it cause of my careless mistakes, but I can now. Love U. Thanks AJ….

  23. My name is M…and I am a single mom raising a beautiful 9 year old daughter. I got pregnant on the pill and he left me. I started having problems and decided that this was my best option. Thank you so much for your understanding and help. Thank you.

  24. Thank you so very much for being so kindhearted. To help me out in this desperate, dreadful, emotional life altering experience. So many emotions are felt right now in this time of despair. “To think” I do not even know you. But you have helped me out more than anyone I do know. I wish I could give you a big hug right now or at least shake your hand and give you the proper thank you that you deserve from the person whose spirit you have lifted, heart and soul you have touched from afar. But whose life you have changed for the outlook of a more positive brighter tomorrow. You are an angel here on earth. You could never imagine how much your helping hand helped me through this. To know someone out there cares. Thank You so much. You are doing a great and wonderful thing. DT….

  25. To EVERYONE, The funds received for my procedure were more beneficial than words can describe. I had a child 7 months ago and went through serious post-partum depression. If I had to have another child right now I would probably reached suicidal depression. Unfortunately, myself and my life partner are too poor to pay for anything except rent and food. Thank you a million times over for helping provide for me!

  26. Dear Miss Bowman, I have no words to express my gratitude for your help with my medical procedure. Life is beyond difficult in 2007. Your help is great and I thank you. D….

  27. Dear Ms. Peggy, I want to thank you for your generous donation. I’m a single mother of three and I’m raising my 3 boys on my own. My youngest is 5 months old. I have a hard time now and I didn’t want to bring another child and can’t support him or her. PA…

  28. My name is JR…I am writing this letter to you to tell you thank you and how much I really appreciate you helping me out. I don’t know what I would have done if you wouldn’t have helped me out because I was in an abusive relationship and I didn’t want to have him in my life anymore. Once again I want to say thank you. Sincerely, JR…

  29. Thank your funding department for helping to make a big difference in my life. If it wasn’t for your financial funding I would be having to face the world once again on my own. I appreciate your help in every way imaginable and most of all I would like to thank you for helping me make a difference in my life. It is very hard sometimes out here for everyone and I would like to tahnk you for helping me out. Someone you don’t even know and helping make a difference in my growing and thanks for your support. Your help is greatly appreciated and will make a world of difference. M…

  30. Sylvie, My name is TH…and I’m writing you this letter because you have changed my life for the better. Until you decided to help me I felt hopeless and very depressed but now I have a second chance to become who I know I should be. Because of you I have the motivation to try to achieve my goals. Once again thank you for helping me help myself. TH…

  31. I would like to thank you all so much for all the help. I am a divorced, single mother with a six year old son. I am 25 years old and just got out of an abusive relationship with the father of this child. I was severely beaten at 7 weeks of pregnancy and would just like you all to know how much it means to me and my son to have a healthy life without anymore complications. Thank you!

  32. To whom it may concern: I wanted to express my gratitude to you for your help. My current situation did not allow me to have another child or pay for a termination. Your kind contribution allowed me to have a safe procedure done and my appreciation is unlimited. Should I ever be in a position to help someone else, please rest assured that I will. Sincerely, C…

  33. It has helped me so much in receiving help from this fund. I am a single mother of 2 that is working full time and going to school to better me and my childrens lives. This will help me to be able to continue my life and I can only get better from this situation.

  34. I would like to take time out to say thank you a whole lot and that without your help I promise you my life would have been nuts. I was five minutes away from just leaving to burst out in tears and then just walk away from everything. But then she called my name and told me that you were going to help me. I can’t explain how thankful I truly am. I just want to say thank you soooo much.

  35. To whom it may concern: I just wanted to let you know that your services are greatly appreciated. This has been a hard decision but I know this is something that must be done. And it couldn’t have happened without your help. So thank you. I hope to one day have an opportunity to help someone as you have done for me in this difficult time. God Bless. Anomymous

  36. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful thing you do to help in time of need. I couldn’t of done this without you. I hope you can keep helping others like me. I had four other kids and homeless and there was something wrong with baby and I had been sick and couldn’t work. Now I thank you so much and God Bless you. BR…

  37. Thank you for the much needed funding assistance. I am a single mother of 3 small children all under the age of 6. I am employed full time and still struggle with everyday expences. I can’t express enough my thanks to your support for this business and the many women you greatly help.

  38. I would like to start off by saying, “Thank you so very much!” Without your help I would never made it through this. I am alone and scared with very little options and with your help I was given a more secure and stable option. Which I will never forget and am utterly grateful for. I “Thank You” again.

  39. Thank you for the assistance. I really appreciate it! Thank you, CJ…

  40. I want to tell you how very appreciative I am to be able to utilize your services. Thank you very much for your help as it was definitely needed and greatly appreciated. Thank you, H…

  41. I would like to thank you very much for your help. You don’t know how much this meant to me, having to make the decision I had to, somethings are made a little easier with people who care. Thank you, J…

  42. Dear Peggy Bowman Fund, I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me with money that I needed. I will always remember this and the help you gave me. Thank you very much and thank you for the second chance you have given so that I can make a better life for me and for the future.

  43. I would like to thank the contributors of the Peggy Bowman fund for allowing me to have a choice. I am a single mother of a 3 year old boy, and struggle on a daily basis to care for the two of us. I was given a date rape drug at a party which was bad enough but when I found out 6 weeks later I was carrying twins I was devastated. With the help of this funding, I am moving forward and will be able to continue caring for the child I already have. Again thank you so much for giving me a second chance.

  44. To whom it may concern: At this time I am feeling bad for this choice I am making. However, I know this is the right choice for me. I was unable to afford this procedure without your help. To me, just saying thank you doesn’t seem enough. And to me, no other words I can think will express my gratitude. Please know that I am eternally grateful for the help you have provided. Your services mean so much to me and all the other women you have helped.

  45. Hi, My name is EC… I wanted to thank you very much for helping me and giving me another chance. It’s something I really didn’t want to do but I have 6 beautiful children and it is hard for me to take care of them financially and I can’t get birth control because Medicaid cut me off. So I wanted to thank you very much and hopefully I don’t have to be in this position again. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Sincerely EC…(with phone number)

  46. I want to thank you for helping me pay half of that bill. Without you I don’t know what I’ll do. When I get some money I will give you about $200 back so that it can help someone else.

  47. These difficult issues as women we face are far and beyond emotional issues at times. Sometimes it’s emotional, stress, and the hardest seems to be financial. And there comes a time when we have to swallow our pride and ask for help and that’s the hardest thing to face among all else is admitting you just can’t do it right now, and thanks to your selfless gift and donation I was able to freely decide without the additional burden of finances as well as other problems that seems to hit me all at once. Without the donation I received I would have never been able to get my life back on the right track and have this chance I now have. In the past 18 months of my life have been filled with tragedy left and right. I’ve lost 6 family members on 6 different occasions; I turned to alcohol and drugs to cover the pain and I made intoxicated decisions to find comfort in strangers’ arms. Little did I know the results of all of it at the time. I continued my downhill streak trying to cope with all the tragedy during this time. I was unaware that I was pregnant. I drank excessfully, smoked, lost my job, my family, and to top it off, faced with the decision to risk my life or have this procedure done, so without the funding I wouldn’t have been able to choose. Now with this second chance and a real eye opener I know I am better then this and am seeking help in all areas of my life to get back on the rite track. So with that being said THANK YOU! Thank you for giving me this chance, and the option to choose. Your donation will never be forgotten.

  48. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your help. I know being a young mother would have been tough. I am very young and unprepared for anything that would have happened without your contribution for me. I wish I could thank you in person, but they said that this would be enough. I am not ready to be any type of mother. I have a very sad background when it comes to how my family raised and treated me. I am definitely sure I might have treated this one the same. I would never have wanted that. I was in foster care at a young age and I know I was put there intentionally by both my parents because neither one wanted me. I am very glad that I will never have to put this one through that. I also have bad genes to carry on. I want to say thank you for giving me a second chance to change my life. I know what I needed to do. I have done a lot of thinking over this and a second chance is what I need so the next time I decide to grow up I will be prepared for this or life. Thank You, K

  49. Dear Peggy, I want to give you a big thank you. Because of your help I could change my life around. I made a very big mistake and I didn’t know how I was going to get out of it. At the moment I didn’t have that type of income and I felt very scared and helpless, hopeless. Now I learned my lesson and am doing very good. Thanks sooo much. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have help. What I did is not something I believe in but I had to do it for my own good. I’m glad there are people like you that truly understand and care. Thanks so much. MR…

  50. The day I found out I was pregnant for the second time, all I could think of was: what now? I am already a single mom trying to work full time, and going to school 21 hours at a local university. When I told the father of my recent child that I was pregnant again with his child, he basically told me to take care of the situation. The pregnancy with the first child was horrible cause I was alone. I knew I could not do it again. I could barely take care/provide for my child now. When making the appointment to get an abortion, I was told it would be an amount I could never come up with. Not on my wages nor because of the needs of my first child. I got on the internet and found the Peggy Bowman Second Chance Fund. I called my doctor back and asked them to please call you. The receptionist was almost certain that I could not get the remaining balance. When I got the call back that your organization would help me, I started crying. I actually felt that I did have a second chance with my life and could close this horrible chapter in my life. I thank you again for helping me. One day when I am stable and able help another woman in need like I was, I will definitely donate to the Peggy Bowman Second Chance Fund. Thank you for not only giving me a second chance in my life, but for also giving me and my daughter a brighter future.

  51. Dear Caring Contributor, Thank you so much for the wonderful donation. I was sexually assaulted and found myself stuck. You have made my life worth living again. You have no idea how amazing it is to know there are great caring people out there like you that care about how young women’s health is. I am so grateful and appreciative. I thought ending my life was my only solution. I couldn’t ask my family for help. They would say no and ridicule me. I have cried many nights not knowing what to do. I took drugs. I drank every day since I found out. That was when a friend told me about this clinic and you. Your willingness to help even not knowing me says there’s still hope and love out there. You keep women like me sane and healthy. You have lifted my spirits and my way of thinking. Because of you, I am going to try and help as many people as I can. You are a great example of heroism. And now you are my hero. So thank you very much and I can’t express how grateful I am. The best I can say is you are a ray of sunshine on my cloudy days. I will cry no more. Take care and keep up the caring and love behind all your work and efforts. Much, much Thanks TP…P.S. I will be more than happy to give a gift to another woman in need. You can count on it.

  52. To My Angel, The last week has been so hard and confusing for me and my husband. Both of us work full time and are raising two wonderful boys, ages 9 and 5. They are really everything to me and my husband. My health has not been to good the past year so having another baby now is something we just can’t do. We stay so busy in our lives now that a new baby would not fit. My husband is a farmer so we are always working Monday thru Sunday and our boys help us on the farm. We do it as a family. As most of you know, farming is real tight right now so we don’t have any extra money. Your help was music to my ears. I felt like the world was against me and I was being punished for something bad I have done in my life. That all changed as soon as I walked into Dr….. clinic everything changed. I felt love and support from everyone. I felt like I was a person again and I could hold my head up. Thank you so much for your financial help. You have helped me in more ways than you know! I am ready to go on with my life! Love, AB…..
