Black women in the U.S. are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. And Black toddlers are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday. Most heartbreaking of all, it’s estimated that 80% of these deaths are preventable.
At Start Early, we're changing these odds through our culturally responsive doulas and home visitors. These champions for Black mothers don’t just provide support – they advocate within a healthcare system that too often dismisses Black women's pain and concerns.
But we need your help, we’re trying to raise $5,000 by April 17th to address this tragic reality.
Your 100% tax-deductible gift can help us change the odds for Black mothers and their families. Please give today.
