Black birthing individuals face some of the highest maternal mortality and mental health disparities in the U.S. Many lack access to culturally affirming care, essential baby items, and emotional support during and after pregnancy. The Black Girls Mental Health Foundation (BGMHF) is dedicated to changing this reality by providing free diapers, wipes, formula, and baby essentials to families in need while raising awareness of maternal health disparities and solutions.

This Maternal Health Week (April 11 - 17, 2025), we are showing up in person and online to uplift, educate, and support Black birthing individuals. We need your help to make it happen!

How We’re Taking Action:

📍 San Leandro, CA (April 12) – Attending a Community Baby Shower where we’ll distribute essential baby care items.

📍 Atlanta, GA (April 12) – We will attend the Black Mamas Matter event, sharing mental health resources, giveaways, and support for Black mothers.

Your Donation Makes an Impact!

$25 provides a diaper and wipe bundle for a new parent.
$50 supplies formula and feeding essentials for a baby in need.
$100 helps fund mental health support and education for Black birthing individuals.
$250+ supports multiple families with essential baby items and access to culturally affirming resources.

Why It Matters

📌 Black women are 2.9 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.
📌 Only 4% of Black women receive postpartum mental health support—we need to change that!
📌 Many Black families struggle to afford basic newborn care essentials, making the postpartum period even more difficult.

With your support, we can provide tangible relief to Black parents while increasing awareness and advocating for change in maternal health policies.
