repost via from Today we laid to rest a titan. Words fail me 😭. I can't begin to express what meant to me. She was my friend and mentor, she sat on board, she was my sponsor, my advisor, my confidant, and my sister. I will miss her so much 😭😭😭.

The only thing that I am more passionate about than Bumps, Babies, and B***s is SISTERHOOD. And Joy taught me what it means to truly be a sister, to lift each other and celebrate each other. She was the embodiment of her name.

Sisi Joy, I love you and I will miss you forever. Rest in Peace and Power my love.

Dear Supporters,

In 2021, The Perfect Push Foundation successfully raised $80,000 in its inaugural annual fundraiser. Thanks to your generosity, there is a new clinic in Kuporesa Healthcare Trust in Chegutu, Zimbabwe. Now, one of the most remote areas of Zimbabwe has a sustainable health facility. (Learn more)

We were also able to provide scholarships to ten future providers of color who ultimately plan to improve women's health in communities of color. (Learn more)

Today is Give Big - an opportunity for you, our supporters, to GIVE BIG to The Perfect Push Foundation. Your donations will allow us to continue providing grants like the one that helped the Kuporesa Trust transform a shipping container into a clinic that serves women and children.

We are asking you to dig deep over the next 48hrs. Let's create change. Together, let's reduce the women and infant mortality rate by supporting future providers.

With gratitude,

The Perfect Push Foundation

Let's GiveBIG to reduce the women and infant mortality rate in communities of color by supporting future providers of color.

Vu-An Foster: Originally, I planned on using my personal, professional and academic experience to turn my emerging organization into an operational 501c3 that is sustainable and that provides programs for loss mamas and their families and services for families who are of childbearing age. As a new mom, it has been extremely challenging even with all that I know navigating the birthing space postpartum. I plan to make sure I address a wide range of issues in the birthing space.
