Relief Now
MamaMama is committed to supporting pregnant and postpartum families throughout this challenging time. The devastation caused by the wildfires has left many families without homes, essential items, and stability. Our Wildfire Relief Fund: Support for Pregnant & Postpartum Families is providing cash aid for pregnant and postpartum families directly impacted by the fires.
We hope to provide multiple rounds of cash aid as funds are available, every 90 days. Below are the important dates to note for the first round of direct cash aid. We will continue to update this information so please check back.
