We are feeling grateful for the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund for awarding us $5,000 to support our Equitable Access Fund.

Our Equitable Access Fund helps cover the costs when a client is uninsured or underinsured, as well as enables us to provide free lactation & feeding support every Monday during Baby Clinic and sliding-scale payment options for our childbirth preparation courses.

Thank you Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund!

My Dearest Readers,

It has come to this author’s attention that an event of utmost charm and significance is soon to grace our social calendar. But, pray, do not think this soirée is all lace and lemon cakes. Beneath its refined exterior lies a cause most noble: supporting equitable access to midwifery birth center care.

Attend if you wish to be counted among the enlightened—or stay home, and risk being the subject of my next report!
