November Newsletter: Oct. Midwifery Stats + Meet our Intern + 2019 Calendar

Dear Friends,

We need your partnership. There are several expectant mothers in the midwifery care program that need to be sponsored/supported. A one-time amount of $110 covers the cost of prenatal (education, testing, routine visits), delivery, postpartum and newborn care. As of right now, we have 65 women/babies that need support. Please consider partnering with us. We have a goal to reach our goal by Friday, November 30th. To partner please click on the link below.

Mama Sponsorship: breathoflifehaiti.com/donations

Thank you for your continued partnership, encouragement and prayer.

 

With gratitude,

Ashley Stills, Founder/Director
