Our Mission:

We are committed to empowering single mothers by offering a holistic approach to birth support. Our mission is to create a supportive environment that nurtures physical, emotional, and social well-being, fostering a foundation for a healthy and thriving family.

What We Offer:

• Personalized Support:

  • Each mother is unique, and so is our support. We tailor our services to meet individual preferences, birthing plans, and cultural considerations.

• Experienced Mothers & Volunteers:

  • Our compassionate team comprises experienced mothers and dedicated volunteers, including student volunteers from Tulane University. These volunteers, under supervision, actively participate in our Birth Support Program to offer compassionate assistance and emotional support to single mothers during childbirth. Their involvement enriches the support provided and contributes to their experiential learning in maternal health and related fields. Together, we create a nurturing environment that empowers single mothers and fosters a strong sense of community and support.

• Choice of Birthing Settings:

  • Whether you choose a hospital, birthing center, or the comfort of your home, we are here to support you. We provide assistance and guidance for a variety of birthing choices.

• Postpartum Support:

  • Recognizing that the postpartum period is just as crucial as childbirth, our program extends support beyond delivery. We offer postpartum care, counseling, and connections to community resources.

• Financial Accessibility:

  • Our program is designed to be accessible to single mothers in a distressed community. We understand the financial challenges and have options for those with varying income levels.

How It Works:

• Intake and Assessment:

  • Begin your journey with us by completing our Birth Support Intake Form. This helps us understand your unique needs, preferences, and any specific requirements for your birthing experience.

• Personalized Planning:

  • Based on your input, we create a personalized birth plan that aligns with your wishes and needs. This plan guides our support team in providing the assistance you desire.

• Ongoing Communication:

  • We believe in transparent and open communication. Throughout the process, we keep you informed, address any concerns, and ensure that you are comfortable and confident in your choices.

• Support Team:

  • Our experienced support team is by your side during the entire birthing process. From emotional support to practical assistance, we are here to enhance your birthing experience.

• Postpartum Care:
