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.

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.

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.
