When families welcome new life, they deserve safety, dignity, and support—not fear, confusion, or isolation. But across Chicago’s South and West Sides, many families face barriers that put their health at risk.
Chicago Volunteer Doulas stands in the gap.
Our Doulas provide free, culturally-rooted pregnancy, labor, and postpartum support for families who need it most. We bridge the space between patients and the medical system. We advocate when voices go unheard. We offer comfort, information, and grounding during one of life’s most vulnerable moments.
Your donation directly funds:
-
Fair compensation for Doulas
-
Training and support for our volunteer corps
-
Emergency postpartum care
-
Birth support for uninsured or under-resourced families
-
Community-driven maternal health solutions
Help us continue standing in the gap. It's your generosity that ensures that no family has to cross the threshold of birth alone. Donate today—and make birth safer, calmer, and more supported for our communities.
