The Health Initiative, which focuses on LGBT wellness, says it raised nearly $1,000 in 24 hours as a response to Susan G. Komen for the Cure's defunding of Planned Parenthood.
Posted Thursday to the Health Initiative's Facebook page:
"Thank you, to all of you have donated to the Health Initiative's Health Fund in the last 24 hours. With the nearly $1000 you've raised, we will provide up to 20 breast exams/mammograms or 7 annual physicals for uninsured women through our partner, Planned Parenthood. And now the second part of our request - if you know of any lesbian or other member of the LGBTQ community without insurance who is delaying a screening or healthcare, please send them our way. Because of your support, we can help."
