"I just want to express my sincere gratitude to you for the doula support I received from you…. I feel saved by you especially while my mother's visa was delayed! THANK YOU so much for supporting me at the moment I needed it the most, I honestly do not know what I would have done without your support. Please continue the good work as the impact is amazing."

"Thank you to the whole mommy monitor team, I tell everyone I know how amazing this program is and how helpful it has been since my benefits have been canceled at work."

"My experience with my doula during my first pregnancy was wonderful. She was readily available whenever I had a hard day, or questions on how best to navigate pregnancy and postpartum. The real gift of her presence was felt during the birthing experience, because she really helped support me during the difficult labour with her expert advice and tips. That support was invaluable, I'll never forget the part she played in helping bring my daughter safely into this world"

"I am thankful for all of your help in helping me get ready and pointing me to different resources -- they have been absolutely invaluable!!"
