If it takes a village to raise a child, let’s build a better village.
LOVE, YOUR BIRTH MOM asks what it takes to raise a child, and what happens when the weight of caregiving becomes too much for one person to carry.
We believe building better villages starts with each of us. A meal. A school pickup. An afternoon of childcare. Showing up for a child who isn't your own. Advocating for families in your workplace or community.
Village Acts are small, tangible commitments to help carry the weight for someone else. Together, those small acts can add up to something much bigger.
How will you help build the village?
A Village Act is one thing, big or small, that helps carry the weight for a caregiver in your life.
Make one commitment to help carry the weight for someone else.
