Help Us Make A Difference on Giving Tuesday!
Happy #GivingTuesday!
Breastfeeding is not always easy! Having personally experienced breastfeeding challenges with both of my kids, I know firsthand how critical breastfeeding support is for a mom in those first few weeks after her baby is born. Critical, both physically and emotionally.
Join me in helping local low-income women gain access to critical breastfeeding support on this #GivingTuesday.
Wondering how to do this?
We are asking you to help us #SupportSDMoms by donating your weekly coffee money! It’s that simple! If everyone on this email list donated $10-$20 today, the amount they would spend at a coffee shop this week, we would be able to raise over $40,000 on #GivingTuesday.
Can you help us reach this goal?
All you have to do is click on this Paypal link to donate this week’s coffee allowance and help bring affordable breastfeeding support to hundreds of local low-income moms.
After a fairly smooth pregnancy and birth, breastfeeding presented me with the greatest challenges in my journey to motherhood. Tula had a tongue tie that caused her latch to be shallow and excruciatingly painful for me. After the revision, she had trouble re-learning how to latch with the new mobility and ended up losing nearly a whole pound one week postpartum. That's when robin and the team at the San Diego Breastfeeding Center swooped in to the rescue.
Realizing our baby had been starving, we were wrought with concern and exhaustion. Robin was kind, supportive, and professional. She came to our home and was affordable, which was such a relief! She created a plan with us and she reassured us that we could reach our goals and get our baby healthy.
Five months later and we are going strong halfway towards our goal! Robin remains an essential source of support and guidance. Having access to these invaluable services, at the incredibly reasonable price point of $25, made all the difference.

DID YOU KNOW….
While 93% of moms start breastfeeding exclusively at birth in San Diego, only 56% continue doing so at 3 months, largely due to a lack of access to ongoing lactation support.
Lack of financial resources is reported as one of the main barriers for women to receive qualified breastfeeding support to help feed their babies.
Please join us today, on Giving Tuesday, to help more local families like Lauren's gain access to critical breastfeeding support!
