Support Beyond Donations
There are many ways to support Lucinda's House and help us create a healthier, more supportive community for mothers, babies, and families.
You can support our mission by sharing your time, expertise, and lived experience. We are always looking for volunteers, healthcare professionals, educators, advocates, and community members who are passionate about improving maternal and reproductive health.
We encourage supporters to shop with small businesses whenever possible, especially those that are Black- and Brown-owned. Donating products from local entrepreneurs is a meaningful way to support both families and community businesses.
We are also seeking content experts who can help provide education on topics related to reproductive, maternal, and family health. Community members have expressed interest in learning more about infertility, pregnancy after age 40, gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum health, and many other topics. We welcome additional ideas and suggestions based on the needs of the community.
The success of Lucinda's House depends on the strength of our community. Together, we can create a space where families feel supported, informed, empowered, and cared for. Thank you for being part of this journey.
In 2010, Lucinda Canty gave birth to her son Ryan. She had a beautiful pregnancy. She was surrounded by love and support. Due to complications, She had a cesarean birth. Her recovery period took longer than she expected.
During her postpartum period, she had limited support as friends and family went back to work. she found herself feeling lonely and overwhelmed. She wanted the support of a postpartum doula, but didn’t have the financial resources.
She had to navigate caring for herself and her son alone. She had challenges with breastfeeding and began having separation anxiety as she was preparing to return to work. This had a significant impact on her emotional and mental wellbeing.
She suffered in silence.
Lucinda knows what it feels like to want to get help, but not knowing whom to trust.
