This is what wellness and care look like. Thank you to Dr. Maryann of Vita Life Integrative Wellness Center for providing acupuncture services to our Healthy Babies Project families and helping create space for healing, balance, and self-care. 💜

A 5% budget cut doesn’t sound like much.
Until it’s the difference between a bed and a park bench for a young mother and her newborn.
The families we serve are from Wards 7 and 8. They are DC residents. They are constituents.
The DC Council votes soon. The ask is simple — fund the safety net before the cost of dismantling it falls on the next generation.
Two lives. One decision. Let’s get it right.

What does it mean to stand for women’s lives?

It means believing women deserve safe, respectful, equitable care, throughout their maternal health journey.

It means refusing to accept preventable maternal deaths.

It means committing to a world where dignity and access is the norm for all women, everywhere.

This International Women's Day, we're standing for women's lives. Learn more: everymothercounts.org/iwd-2026

“I didn’t feel judged. I felt supported.”
That’s what care looks like at Healthy Babies Project—nonjudgmental, consistent, and grounded in dignity. Visit the About page on our website for info.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we were honored to welcome Howard University volunteers who spent the day serving at our shelter by helping to clean, organize, and refresh our space for the pregnant and parenting teens we support.

Their service reflects Dr. King’s belief that “everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” Acts like these help ensure our residents have a safe, dignified, and nurturing environment as they work toward stability and independence.

We are grateful to Howard University for choosing service and community care on this Day On, Not a Day Off.
