Maternity Care.
We provide care for your ideal birth.
Maternity
Our goal is to provide true options for pregnant people of color. So many people think that if they don’t fit a certain social or economic status, they have only one option and that is to deliver at a hospital. Delivering Unto You wants you to know that you DO have options no matter your social or economic status!
Maternity Care Fund
Delivering Unto You (DUY) is providing financial support for midwifery care and holistic services for birthing people of color.
