"I haven't worked in over 4 months, and I hear the restaurant
where I work may not reopen. I'm looking for a new job but it's
hard when daycare isn't open every day. Thank you
for helping me while I have no income.
I didn't know where else I could go."

COVID-19 is relentless.
It has taken a toll on our collective physical, mental, and financial well-being.
These past 6 months, Womankind has remained committed to providing
high-quality care to all patients regardless of income.
Many of our patients work in the service industry and are still not back
to their full work schedules.
Thanks to our partner agencies, patients have been able
to receive care at Womankind for gynecological problems, birth control,
chronic conditions, lab work, and medications.
This crisis is far from over.
