Our dear friend is about to welcome her baby into the world (ETA November 17th!), and she’s doing it as a solo parent, which means the circle around her matters more than ever. On top of a new baby, she’s also has her first baby, BeWell Clinic. Unfortunately she does not have full coverage for her maternity leave, so she’s juggling far more than most new moms ever have to. Right now, before the baby arrives, she needs help getting her new home ready for a newborn, things like organizing baby’s space, and regular daily life things like laundry, dishes, etc. We are also hoping there are folks who are willing to give a couple of hours a week learning the administrative side of the clinic from her now, and are able to maintain that work for 6 weeks after baby arrives so that work can keep running smoothly and she can actually step away to recover and nestle in with her little one. Once the baby is here, the support shifts to the more traditional things, meals, and people willing to come sit with her, maybe even hold the baby so she can shower in peace, as well as the ongoing clinic admin tasks. If you’ve ever wished you had a big extended family and loving supportive community around for a moment like this, this is our chance to be that for her. Support Calendar: Right now we are asking for support around the home (tending the nest), preparing space for babe (building the nest), and clinic administrative work (keeping the perch). The calendar shifts on 11/22 to include meals (fed by the flock), and continued home support (tending) and clinic support (perching)
