Go fund me: Child Birth Education & Support For Underprivileged Mothers
Hi, I’m Aasya, I am performing a lifetime wish of a tandem free fall skydive from 15,000 Feet on Oct 24th and I am combining this to raise funds for causes that I am also passionate about:
I will be raising funds for Happy Baby Community (and also RAHAM Project - Supporting ethnic mums and families for maternity related matters) with whom I connected to and support in person.
I’m a trained & qualified Birth Doula (CBI), a Hypnobirthing practitioner (KGH)and qualified Counsellor (DipC). I strongly advocate, supporting individuals and groups of pregnant and new mums whom are anxious and afraid during their pregnancy journey and childbirth.
What we do
relaxation
antenatal care
english lessons
POst-natal care
welfare
activities for under 2’s
What it means to us
“Every day in the week I stay in my home, just Mondays I leave the home and I go to the Happy Baby Community and meet friends and I have a good feeling”
“The best feeling that I have is on a Monday, I wake up with a good feeling and I have a happy face. It’s the only place I feel I’m home.”
“I am a young mum, 20 years old and I have a daughter, she is two months old, when she grows up and when she goes to school I would like to start a job, I would like to be a teacher. I like teaching others, even kids, who I love so much, this group helps me make plans for our future.”
“I am feeling excited every Monday, I think today my baby will be happy when she meet other babies, because she smile when other babies speak with her.”
