One of my readers of my blog posted a comment this morning, something I had NEVER thought about doing. It was suggested I post a paypal "donation" link on my blog. At first I was like that's sweet but I can not do that. I do not post my struggles as a way to beg for money. It is how I vent so to speak. Then I was talking to a friend of mine and mentioned it to her.
She was like you should look at all you do as a volunteer in our community. I have been a LLL Leader for 15 years. I am retired but I still do home visits to moms.
I volunteer my doula services for free to those that can not afford one because I want to help all moms have the birth they want. I also volunteer my doula services to OSD (operation special delivery) which is doula's for moms whose husbands are deployed serving this country.
I guess I have always had a giving heart and NEVER expected anything in return. My husband use to complain ALL the time how much time I spent helping breastfeeding moms....I had a gift I want to share.
So I added a paypal donation button to my blog, it is on the right sidebar. You can donate if you would like. I will use it to buy groceries and gas because I do drive a lot to moms and do post partum visits.
I am as I said looking for job that will be flexible with my doula business. Because birth and breastfeeding work is my passion and gift to others.
I thank you ALL for you prayers and encouragement.
Great idea! :-)
