“Starting this October, we’re embracing our community with year-round free doula services for teenage mamas — especially those who are often overlooked, unrepresented, or facing disadvantages. Together, we’ll pour into them with love, guidance, and strength, making sure they feel seen, supported, and valued every step of the way.”

🧡 Perris Oasis Outreach Highlight
At the Melanin Youth Foundation, honoring our elders is a vital part of our mission.

This week, we visited Perris Oasis Long-Term Care Facility to deliver essential goods including:

🧴 Steam vaporizers

🧻 Adult diapers & hygiene supplies

🧼 Toilet tissue, facial tissue, and more

These items provide comfort, care, and dignity to residents who are often overlooked. It’s our way of reminding them—and the community—that they are not forgotten.

💛 Thank you to Amazon LGB6 WHS for making this possible through your continued generosity. Your support helps MYF show up with love and intention every time.
