Donate
Thank you for considering donating to us to help us provide care for our lower income clients. Monetary donations can help pay for the prenatal care, birth and postpartum care of families who would otherwise not be able to afford midwifery care in the area. If you'd prefer, we also have an Amazon wish list, so you could buy specific items for our clients and their babies.
Please take a look at the different sponsorship packages below and at the ways in which we say "thank you" to our wonderful donors, and see our donors who are happy for their names to be shared publicly. For questions regarding non-profit status, please see Information.

How We Say "Thank you!"
To thank everyone who donates at least $100, we invite you to a private dinner party with tabletop cooking. So, if you donate $200, you and a partner or friend would both be invited along. This "thank you" package can be designed either for families or for adults only. For adults, we prepare a sophisticated three-course dinner such as cheese fondue followed by flambéed Crêpes Suzette. For families, examples include create-your-own pizzas cooked in a tabletop pizza oven, followed by a chocolate fountain or tabletop pancake art canvas cooking! We thank you deeply for your generosity and care.
Sapphire Donors
To thank everyone who donates at least $50, we invite you to something that's a very rare event in Southern Texas - a private snow party! So, if you're a family of 3 and donate $150, your entire family would be invited along!
At the party, we'll have an area of snow for children or adults to play in and a campfire burning, and will provide hot chocolate for you to enjoy once you've dusted off the snow and are relaxing by the fire. (Allergen-free options available.)
We thank you deeply for your generosity and for caring for our birthing families.
Ruby Donors
To thank anyone who donates at least $10, we invite you to a private pool party. So, if you're a family of 5 and donate $50, your entire family would be invited along!
At the party, you'll be able to relax or play in the pool or with one of the yard games such as corn hole, and youngsters can also jump on the trampoline and whiz down the zip line. We'll provide delicious ice cold lemonade, made with homegrown lemons in the right season.
We thank you deeply for your generosity, and for helping us to be able to serve additional families in our community.
