Welcome to Our Birth Support Program
At Pickney Foundation Inc., we understand that the journey to motherhood is a profoundly transformative experience, and every single mother deserves support tailored to her unique needs. Our Birth Support Program is designed to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to single mothers during the birthing process, ensuring a positive and empowering experience for both mother and child.
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.

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.

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.
