Two student wannabes need help and Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus...

Christina who is seeking funds to become a doula!!

HI, I am a little late on this - since the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was last Friday - it came earlier this year because of our early Easter! So, happy belated feast day! If you want to read about the promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - go here to read about them! 
In honor of Feast of Sacred Heart of Jesus - we are offering 15% off our doula classes. I am going to put up a sales/event page as I think I need to start having something specific on events and sale that we offer each month. The 15% off doula class sale also includes postpartum doula fast-track class that we plan to meet July 5th and 6th (tentatively) - so instead of higher amount you can still get that class for $471!! 
Next order of business, we have two women who want to join our doula classes, but they do not have the funds to pay for the course - so we are setting up a fundraiser pages for them soon but we will have donation area set up now!  
You can read what Christina has to say about herself below - and if you want to donate today - follow the donate button and it will take you to a checkout page where you can choose how you would like to help Christina. I'll do a post about Anne next time.

"A little about me...
I was raised in a strong Christian home. My dad was a pastor. I'm a Catholic convert as of 2013. I've been married for 24 years and have been pregnant 10 times. We have 5 girls and 5 boys. Our first was 5 weeks premature, our 4th was stillborn at 27 weeks after I was sick with mononucleosis for 2 months, I've had 2 home births (1 unplanned), 2 born after 40 weeks, 2 inductions (1 of those with IV pain medication) and an epidural with our stillborn daughter. All of my other labors and deliveries were without pain medication. The unplanned home birth was almost totally pain free using a hypno-birthing method of relaxation. I have experienced prodromal labor, 1 pregnancy with gestational diabetes and 1 with group B strep. I've had 3 births which were considered high risk due to my age. I've had one delivery with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. I have experience with massage therapy (I'm not licensed though), acupressure, aromatherapy, and other natural birthing methods. I've breastfed each of my babies, had one with difficulties latching due to being premature, another with tongue-tie, and another who needed to use a nipple shield for a few weeks because he couldn't keep a good latch. I've also had experience with those who have emotional/mental health issues and those with autistic sensory issues. I've assisted one friend at her birth and translated for her. I'm fluent in Spanish. English is my native language though. I'm also currently learning German."
So, if you want to donate towards Christina's doula classes - we are raising minimum of $325 to include her book and course fee. I am donating a discount off the course - so instead of $555 - I am offering a discount to $300 - plus the $25 for book fee. If you want to donate an amount of $25, $50, $100, or full amount of $300 to Christina's funds, Fundraising page. Please note: you can uncheck the donation you do not want to do; there will be an automatic $1 added for processing fee. Thank you. 
All funds will be "held" till we raise enough for her classes. Once we have done so, we will invite her to start work on her course!  If you are a business and want to donate, we will be offering business' that donate a spot on the front page of our website for a week or a month - depending on donation amount. Higher amount gives you a longer time to be featured on front page and in our newsletter and blog as a thank you. We also may do one social media thank you post as well. So, please consider donating as a business to help doulas to be! 
OK, thank you! We will put up another blog post about Anne next time. God Bless,
​Julie
