A few words from our amazing supporters:

“Having the loving care of a skilled doula during labor and birth- especially during the pandemic, when no extra family members were allowed at the hospital with my husband and me- helped me to have the peaceful and empowered birthing experience that I hoped for. I feel blessed to live in a community that can support an important program like this.”⠀

— Doula care recipient, 2020

"DAI allows for truly authentic care. I became a doula to build individualized connections and facilitate ease and comfort during the birthing time. Working with DAI provides the unique opportunity to step back as a business owner, and return to this passion of providing support simply because it is what every family deserves. Donations to the DAI have allowed me to build relationships with families whose financial limitations would otherwise make doula care out of reach. It really does take a village; I couldn’t be more grateful for this generous community."⠀

— Participating Doula, 2020

“As a midwife in the community, I support DAI because every birthing person or new parent who wants should have access to a doula. I support DAI because doulas help me feel sure my clients get the extra level of support they may need. I support DAI because as an organization and individuals ,they are actively working to become anti-racist and support more indigenous birthworkers and birthworkers of color coming into the field, perhaps the single most important step to safer maternity care for all in the US.”
