CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 2024
Our Goal: $3,600,000!
Help us expand our current model of care from a traditional Midwifery-Doula care practice, to a birthing and postpartum retreat center model.
Currently there are zero freestanding birth centers in Missouri, a state with rising negative birthing outcomes and disparities, ranking 44th in the nation for maternal deaths. 84% of maternal mortality deaths are preventable, with mental health, SUDS and DV accounting for most deaths. Due to historic mistreatment, disrespect, bias and racism towards Black women, they are 4x more likely to not survive childbirth, in hospital settings. Join us in building a new model of care in St. Louis!
