PPMM Storyteller Denise from Capitola, shares her story.
There were several times throughout my adult life when I had gaps in medical coverage, and Planned Parenthood was a place where I could go for quality medical care.
In the work I do today, we support women, children, and families to be healthy, and we reach out to Planned Parenthood because they are the leader in the most up-to-date health information and are always willing to support community partners.
Planned Parenthood has helped me with general health needs and, as a young adult, helped me to access HIV testing. It is a valuable asset to any community, and we will fight like hell to preserve these resources for future generations!
PPMM Storyteller Tracy from San Jose, shares her story.
I used Planned Parenthood services when I was in high school and needed birth control. I also trusted them when it was time to take an HIV test. This organization is one I can trust for information and care. I’m glad I’m in a position now where I can contribute financially and, hopefully, with my time.
