Donate to Project Motherhood Iowa

Dear Friends and Supporters,

My name is Tina Branch, and I am the founder of Project Motherhood Iowa, an organization dedicated to supporting Black women facing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), pregnancy and infant loss, and infertility. Our mission is to provide compassionate care, resources, and a nurturing community for women who often navigate these challenges alone.

As a Black mother who has personally experienced the joys and hardships of motherhood, I recognized a profound need within our community. Black women are disproportionately affected by PMADs and often lack access to culturally competent care and support. This realization inspired me to create Project Motherhood Iowa — a safe space where Black mothers can find understanding, healing, and empowerment.

We have a dream: to transform my home into a dedicated perinatal wellness center. This center will allow us to expand our services and create a haven where Black mothers can receive:

- Referrals to Professional Counseling and Therapy: Access to mental health professionals who understand their unique experiences.

- Support Groups: Peer-led groups fostering connection and shared healing.

- Educational Workshops: Resources on maternal health, self-care, and parenting.

- Holistic Wellness Services: Activities like yoga, meditation, gardening and nutrition guidance.

Why We Need Your Help?

To make this vision a reality, we need to raise $9,500. Here's how the funds will be used:

- Furnishings and Equipment: $3,000 – Providing comfortable spaces for peer groups, childcare,  workshops, and relaxation.

- Program Development: $5,000 - Creating new programs tailored to our community's needs.

- Wellness Garden Space: $1,500 

The Impact:

Your contribution will directly impact the lives of countless Black mothers and families by:

- Expanding Access:  Reaching more women who need our support.

- Enhancing Services: Offering a wider range of programs and resources.

- Building Community: Creating a lasting space for connection and empowerment.
