​Overachiever award goes to Rebecca and Paxton
With over 450 hours of volunteering!  Rebecca has spent countless hours helping to develop our curriculum, teaching classes, helping with doctor's appointments, attending births, and being a fierce advocate for giving a voice to our mothers.

For attending over 10 births this year and over 50 doctors appointments! Paxton is someone is someone you can always count on.  She is consistent and reliable and fills in gaps and needs wherever she can.

All in award goes to Sarah
All of our volunteers are incredible people who welcome and love refugee mothers so unconditionally, but when we think of a volunteer who gives her whole self to this work, we think of Sarah-she gets to know a mother and her family and becomes like a sister to her and loves her so well.

Jump in award goes to Aryelle
In the nature of our work with pregnancy and birth, we often have last minute needs that arise, and need volunteers who are willing to be called day or night- whether doctors appointments, hospital visits, or labor support.  One of the folks who has filled this need so well is Aryelle.  She has spent the night at the hospital and given up weekend days, all with such flexibility and grace. 

THANK YOU to each one of our AMAZING volunteers!
