Lynn, You rock!!!

Lynn is a star at the National Network of Abortion Funds as well as the TEA Fund. She's our dedicated, amazing national case manager and our president-elect. She's always there for the women and girls who call us and for all the abortion Funds in the network. Thank you for everything, Lynn. We couldn't do it without you -- and we wouldn't want to!
