They say it takes a village…
Mothering is at once the most magical and the most exhausting, depleting and overwhelming journey we have ever known. We have felt the pressure to do it all and to do it perfectly: to bounce back, but relish every moment; to compartmentalize work and breastfeeding, but be endlessly available for both; to balance sleep deprivation and day-to-day responsibilities, and to grow into the role with ease and grace. But it’s hard. Like really hard. And made that much harder by a lack of supportive services, ample leave, adequate paid leave, and a luxury tax on pregnancy wellness and postpartum healing.
The Village is a place where new mamas can find financial support to cover these costs. We give one-time no strings attached grants to mamas seeking comfort, care and support.
We welcome you if you are here to get help and we welcome you if you are here to give help. You are held here. Join our village. Let’s raise the next generation together.
