[Trigger warning for those who’ve experienced pregnancy complications]
A couple of friends of mine had to terminate a very much wanted pregnancy that was not viable. Due to the state they live in and the specifics of their unique case, it was made significantly more traumatic due to a need to make swift decisions with no time to grieve, and the need to travel for the needed healthcare.
Their original due date is coming up and I wanted to acknowledge it in some way. I originally had thought some flowers delivered might be a good option, but as I’ve thought about it, I think donating to nonprofit(s) with a note might be the better solution.
So I’m looking for suggestions. A focus on access to women’s health, advocacy for better policies regarding women’s health, and/or nonprofits relating to supporting children/young girls’ education (they were expecting a daughter) are my initial thoughts, but I’m very open to other suggestions.

If they existed, an organization that helps women escape red states would be ideal. Many want to leave but can’t afford it.
