Building Postpartum Care in New Orleans

In New Orleans, too many families are left without support after birth.

The reality is simple—and urgent:
Most maternal deaths happen postpartum. And most are preventable.

Yet care during this critical time is often limited, inaccessible, or nonexistent—especially for Black families and those navigating systemic barriers to care.

We’re working to change that.

DUENOLA is building a model of community-rooted postpartum support—one that centers dignity, continuity of care, and real access for families who need it most.

Your support helps us:

Provide temporary postpartum care to our guests who otherwise couldn’t afford it
Build sustainable systems of support beyond birth
Invest in community-based care that meets people where they are

This isn’t just about services.
It’s about shifting outcomes. It’s about saving lives.

If you’ve ever believed that care shouldn’t end after birth—this is where you step in.

Give what you can. Share if you can’t. Be part of the care.
