Why donate to Postpartum Support International?
1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression and/or anxiety before or after childbirth. Postpartum Support International is an organization dedicated to ensuring all families have access to resources and education to support with PPD and PPA. This mission is close to my heart as a mom. I know first hand that self-care isn't just about taking time for yourself it is also about getting the support and resources you need to thrive. That's why we donate 1% of profits to the important work of Postpartum Support International.
