There is such a concern right now about pregnant people and families and thier exposure to the coronavirus. And a growing number of families are choosing homebirth. In answer to this problem, the homebirth community is doing more televisits, but we lack the funding for supplies that are available to hospital based practices. We are currently taking any donations of supplies, gently used and well cleaned use stuff is good, new supplies are great, or cash donations (actual supplies even better!) so we can purchase supplies for our patients at home, and personal protection equipment for us for when we need to see people in person, and during births. ANY help is GREAT help!!! We are all in this together. ❤️
