BRIDGING THE GAP IN MATERNAL CARE
Delivering the Best for Every Birth.
SAFE BIRTH IS A HUMAN RIGHT!
More Than 80% of Pregnancy-Related Deaths ARE Preventable
The Maternal Healthcare System Has Failed Us
The maternity journey from pregnancy to birth and postpartum can be the happiest, most exciting time for a woman, but it can also be the scariest.
Although the US is one of the wealthiest and most technologically advanced countries in the world, it has the highest maternal mortality rate.
It's especially dangerous for black women, who are 3 - 4 times more likely to die than white women, regardless of income or education level.
We can't wait any longer to make a change.
3 - 4x
Black women in the US die from pregnancy-related complications at more than 3 - 4 times the rate of white women.
10x
The maternal mortality rate in the US is 10x higher than in other high-income countries.
50%
Almost half of new moms describe their birth experience as “traumatic.”
THE BIRTHEE CHOICE & CARE FUND
Change Starts Now.
Together, let's solve the maternal healthcare crisis by providing culturally competent holistic care and birth support to those in need.
The Birthee Choice & Care Fund™ operates on a rolling application basis, prioritizing mothers with demonstrably limited financial resources and residing in underserved communities. We collaborate with local birthing and wellness centers, community organizations, and healthcare providers to identify eligible recipients and ensure culturally competent care.
Funding will be allocated based on individual needs and a tiered system, addressing a range of essential services, such as:
Birth and Postpartum Doulas: Providing emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
Pelvic Floor Therapy: Addressing physical discomforts during pregnancy and promoting postpartum recovery.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care: Optimizing pelvic alignment and alleviating pain for a more comfortable pregnancy.
Birth Center/Home Birth Setting/Midwifery Care: Supporting informed choices and access to alternative birthing environments with a Midwife.
Support Education and Training of Diverse Student Midwives: Grants for educational materials and tuition, reducing the financial barriers and nurturing a diverse future generation of midwives.
Freestanding Birth Centers: Fuel the creation and sustainability of freestanding birth centers in underserved communities.
Your donation can make a real difference in a woman's birth story and survival.
