As I come closer to giving birth, I have been inspired by others to ask for support for my postpartum period.
Asking for help is something I am still learning, but I have been inspired by others doing the same and changing the narrative. I genuinely believe that building a village (even virtual) as we step into parenthood and create a family is so important. I have seen the power around me of small actions for newborn parents that have a profound effect. I myself have been in the 'giving' position and have experienced how beautiful it has been to support others who have been in this same stage. I hope more and more that this asking and receiving can become normal, because we are not meant to do this all alone.
I have set up a Go Fund Me page (link in bio) to open up this space for our virtual community to support us in this big transition. For those who cannot be here in person, offer meals or time and would like to help out and send their love.
Contributing in any way will help us invest in postpartum bodywork, nourishing meals to support rest, breastfeeding, recovery and emotional care. As will it allow us to have the time and space to be with our baby to bond and adjust in peace to this new way of life without the financial stress and distraction of having to find work.
If you feel called to support us, we are so grateful for any donation! And if you are not able to help us financially, we would be grateful if you could share this with others. For those close by and willing to support us in person, a meal train will be set up so you can offer us support in the form of nourishing meals. Reach out to my dear friend if you want to be part of the meal train.
Thank you so much, lots of love,
Cailin & Rory
