And my #1 highlight from Hoopla is our newest partnership with Christy Turlingtons Foundation: Every Mother Counts. 100% of the proceeds of our new Enlighten bracelet will go to this foundation! Random fact: 1 in 6 women around the world die during child birth. 1 in 6. I have a personal goal to sell 200 of these things... Heres what thatll do.. 1 sold - provides a women with transportation to & from necessary healthcare. 5 sold - Pays for a fetal doppler to ensure safe pregnancy & delivery 10 sold - Educates a low-income women on breastfeeding, nutrition and newborn care. 20 sold - Buys all essential medical equipment for midwifery students. 50 sold - Covers all necessary books, supplies & teaching aids for midwifery students. 100 sold - Trains a skilled birth attendant thru a one year program. 200 sold - Buys a solar suitcase that will deliver otherwise unavailable electricity for lights & equipment in rural health facilities. Having 3 home births, this obviously weighs on my heart. Here, home birth is a choice. In other parts of the world, its the only choice. Lets help make it a safe one. Oh, and Mary Harris - your bracelet is already on the way! xo stelladot/teresacook
