To my dear family and friends:
On 9/24/2023, I'm completing a walk/run for new and expecting moms in need and would love your support.
I co-founded The Village for Mamas to give new and expecting mothers the resources and support that are fundamental to allowing them to heal and thrive. As an OBGYN, I've cared for too many patients who have needed a really vital piece of support - a doula or help with breastfeeding or pelvic support or mental health or literally feeding their families - and while I know they're so necessary and fundamental, aren't regularly covered by insurance or by our society. This is a huge burden for families, and new mothers, particularly. The Village's goal is to fundamentally change this - we dream of a day when these services are an obvious part of every mother's experience. Until that day is realized, we aim to fill that gap and "be the village" by providing one-time, no-questions-asked, grants to mothers in need.
Help me raise - and exceed! - my donation goal of $500. Every little bit helps.

Thanks for caring about mamas!
