Seasonal Giving: The Abortion Support Network

[nanila]

So the Abortion Support Network, which helps people in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland access the safe abortions they're denied at home, is running a Wintermas campaign to raise additional money. I give a regular monthly donation to ASN, but I wanted to let my DW Circle know I have made an additional donation to them on your behalf as part of my Seasonal Giving. I put in £20 (plus £5 Gift Aid) which works out to about 13 pence per person. Not a lot, I know, but I hope it pleases you. <3

It pleases me :)

[nanila]

Excellent. I'm glad. :)

[haggis]

Excellent and I really like the idea of Seasonal Giving 😀

[nanila]

\o/ It's a thing I try to do every year. It's been difficult the past couple of years (see: two children in nursery full time), so hopefully I can be more generous in future.

*nods* This year I gave a bit extra to ASN, to a Muslim LGBT project and buying presents from the wish lists for Care Leavers Christmas dinners. I am keen to give a lot now before I have a baby and have to adjust my budget!

Definitely. I might get Irish citizenship in the next few years, and this is a point of major concern for me. Thank you.

[nanila]

You're most welcome. Good luck with the citizenship application.

[cmcmck]

It does!

I do something similar for Ethiopaid- a medical team which travels to do surgery to undo the damage caused by FGM.

[nanila]

Yay!

Ah, thank you for bringing this charity to my attention. I will add it to my list.

[silveradept]

"But... what if it's not in my size...?" =:oo

Or to put it another way: Thankyou. =;o}

[nanila]

This particular thing is always in your size. :) You're welcome.

[mysterysquid]

What a great idea. :D

[nanila]

Credit for the original Seasonal Giving idea goes to innerbrat from years and years ago. :)

[ljravengirl]

Aw, you rock! I love this. I love your creativity and your giving nature so much. ...I may have had too much caffeine recently... but it's still true! ::dances off wildly::

[nanila]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad to have brought some joy to your day. And a thing to expend your caffeinated energy on. :P

[azurelunatic]

Hooray!

[nanila]

Yay! :D

[ayebydan]

Much appreciated. <3 Especially as yesterday I was arguing the point over access to the abortion pill at home in Scotland and a charity trying to block it.

[nanila]

<3 and fist-bumps of solidarity to you.
