Call Ruth
Do you live in a state where access to reproductive healthcare is banned or heavily restricted? Do you need financial and/or planning assistance to travel for your care? Call Ruth! We are a collective of women, who are here to help you every step of the way. Our goal is to have a Companion Ruth assigned to you as soon as possible to help assist with arrangements in your state of origin and also to the out-of-state location where you will be receiving care.
Companion Ruth
Your Companion Ruth will work to help meet your needs, whether that is assisting with or providing transportation between the airport, hotel, and hospital or clinic, assisting you with any after-care you may need, or providing emotional support. Ruth will also coordinate with other Ruths and volunteers to assist you with making any necessary travel arrangements.
Lodging Arrangements
The Ruth Collective works within our network of volunteers and donors to identify appropriate lodging so that we can better assist you with a safe, reputable, and clean place to stay for the duration of your travel.
Financial Aid
Do you need help paying for travel to receive care out-of-state? The Ruth Collective may be able to assist with reducing the cost of your travel expenses.
*Qualifications and funding limitations apply.
Transportation Assistance
The Ruth Collective works within our network of volunteers and donors to identify Ruths to assist with transportation once you arrive at the location where you will receive care, to and from the hotel, clinic, and airport.
Contact
