Our bags have space for you!/ 2013
Put an item in our* bags, support Birth Justice and Comprehensive Care in our Communities of Color.
Are you a Senior or retired Midwife that has some extra equipment (that works, no matter how old) at home or at clinic that could be useful to continue offering comprehensive care to pregnant women and people in our communities of color? Contact me!
I am a Traditional Midwife trained on my way to obtaining my Certified Professional Midwife license. As me, there are other Midwifery Apprentice Students and Colleagues in WI and IL that have to work so hard, travel so long and save so much daily in order to obtain their (our)license. Any equipment donated could help me and other fellow Apprentices to have equipment in order to start and continue practice in a daily basis and direct the money they are saving towards Board/ NARM Fees in the meantime.
If you are around the Illinois or Wisconsin area and feel connected to this cause, don’t hesitate to write me
If you are outside of this area and would still like to donate, contact me to coordinate.
In appreciation, Mama Aicha (Jacoba)
*Items collected would be distributed (in that order if doubled) to bags of: Mama Aicha Services, Inner Birth Midwife Apprentices, CHIcago BIrth WOrkers of COlor Midwifery Students and Wisconsin Doulas of Color Midwifery Students as well.
May the love and greatest energy of your equipment prevail and continue multiplying on every person that they serve.
