🍼"There are patients who deliver (their babies)

🍼"There are patients who deliver (their babies) in the streets, so having access to these essentials can help them a lot." -- Dr. Noreen

🧵🪡

The bag you see is sewn by our Aunties and filled with hygiene essentials by our partners at Solidarity Engineering. So far they have distributed 100 maternity kits to 3rd trimester pregnant asylum seekers living in shelters/the streets of Reynosa. They partner with a clinic that does ultra sound training for local Mexican medical providers, so they distributed the kits to the women who showed up for the free ultra sounds. Our partners did some interviews with the women who received the bags and they loved them!! They make great baby bags because it’s on their backs/hands free.

❤️❤️Aunties wish these new mothers the best.
