Vanessa & James' Baby Registry

Note from Vanessa and James:

"We’re incredibly grateful and excited for the gift of becoming parents. This new season is something we’ve hoped and prayed for, and we’re so thankful to be stepping into it surrounded by love and support. More than anything, my heart’s desire is to have the time and space to bond with our baby in those first few precious months, to rest, recover, and be fully present as we adjust to this new life together. As an independent contractor, I don’t have paid maternity leave, which means any time away from work is unpaid. Your financial support would give me the opportunity to stay home longer with our newborn without the pressure to return to work too soon. It truly is the most meaningful gift you could give during this time. Thank you for being part of our village. Your support, in any form, means the world to us."

Note from Vanessa and James:

"As a doula myself, I deeply understand the value of having that kind of support, and my heart’s desire is to receive the same care I’ve been honored to provide to so many mamas. I’m truly excited to be on the receiving end this time. Since we’re planning to have both a birth and postpartum doula, the funds will make a meaningful difference in helping us afford this level of care. Thank you so much for loving and supporting us in this way."
