ALL families deserve a doula and continuous support
We want our services to be available to anyone birthing new life. Maternal Love was created to improve the birth outcomes of those who face disparities. Low income moms and teens are at a huge disadvantage and less likely to afford a doula or locate a doula who looks like them. Every family deserves to have continuous emotional and physical support during such a beautiful time. Having a baby will create long lasting memories! We want to create positive birth stories and memories in our community. WE can start by making our services accessible to those in need.
Don’t let your INCOME determine your OUTCOME!
Your contributions can further help us assist moms in need of doula care, lactation support and childbirth education!
Can I possibly have Medicaid and afford a Doula?
The answer is YES!
