Story
A Doula supports women and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood.”(NCT)
As a Doula, I support mothers to be, providing emotional, educational and physical support mothers may need, not only during labour, but throughout her pregnancy and postnatally.
Finding out that you or your partner are pregnant can be the best thing that could happen to you, it feels like you are at the top of the world! However, for some women it can feel like their life is over. Maybe they have no family or anyone else trustworthy by their side, no alternative support. Or possibly they are in very basic accommodation, or with extremely limited financial means and feel they can’t do this, but that is where I can come in!
I provide doula services; prenatal, birth and postnatal. I offer this for free to vulnerable refugees, asylum seekers, those who have been trafficked and rape victims. The women who are referred are in desperate need of emotional and physical support.
In a sign of the psychological impact of their experiences, a third of the 147 pregnant survivors supported by the charity last year – most of whom had been raped while being exploited by sex traffickers – were suicidal during their pregnancy" Independant.
Funding for community doulas working with hard to reach and vulnerable groups has been drastically cut, in recent months and hence I am making this appeal.
I feel priviledged to be able to use my skills in order to help women who do not have anyone else'
Without our community supporting us financially, other doulas and I cannot carry on this vital work. If you can sponsor me on a regular basis, I will be able to commit to helping these women on a regular basis and not turn them away.
Please donate as much as you can for this good cause. If you would like to know more about me, please visit www.doulaoorooj.com.
Thank you

6 years agoThank you all for supporting me in this worthy cause, with what I have raised, I was able to help two vulnerable mothers. Thank you all so much. As I do not have anymore funds, I will be pausing in helping any other mothers to be until I can earn enough to do it on a volunteer basis. God bless!

As a Doula, I am privileged to help women from different background, make these experiences as positive and healthy as possible. It’s never surprising to me when another scientific paper proves the positive impact a doula can have on the mother. Please visit www.doulaoorooj.com
